For purposes of this Lease, a “Lease Year” shall be each twelve (12) calendar month period commencing on the Commencement Date (or anniversary thereof); provided, however, that if the Commencement Date is not the first of a month, then the first Lease Year shall also include the partial month in which the Commencement Date occurred.

(b)    Except as expressly provided to the contrary here in, Basic Annual Rent shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments, in advance without demand, deduction or offset commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until the expiration of the Lease Term. The first full monthly installment of Basic Annual Rent shall be payable upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease. The obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. If the Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month or the Lease Term expires on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Rent for such partial month shall be calculated on a per diem basis. In the event Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees it shall be bound by and subject to all terms, covenants, conditions and obligations of this Lease during the period between the date possession is delivered and the Commencement Date other than the payment of Basic Annual Rent in the same manner as if delivery had occurred on the Commencement Date.

If at any time during the Lease Term the bank or financial institution that issues the letter of credit is declared insolvent or is placed into receivership by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental or quasi-governmental institution, or if there is a material adverse change in the financial or business condition of the bank or financial institution from the date of the Lease as reasonably determined by Landlord, then following written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall have ten (10) business days to replace the Letter of Credit with a new letter of credit from a bank or financial institution acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. If Tenant does not replace the Letter of Credit with a new letter of credit from a bank or financial institution acceptable to Landlord within such ten (10) business day period, then notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be in default and Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit for the full amount of the Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 2(c).

The use or application of the proceed from the Letter of Credit or any portion thereof shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided hereunder or under any Law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages. In the event Landlord draws down the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall riot be required to keep the proceeds of the Letter of Credit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest thereon.

If any portion of the Letter of Credit is so used or applied Tenant shall upon demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit within five (5) business days to the appropriate amount as determined hereunder. If Tenant shall fully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days following the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 3 below has been determined and paid to Landlord in full.

(d)    The parties agree that for all purposes hereunder the Premises shall be stipulated to contain the number of square feet of Rentable Area described in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions.

Operating Costs for the Base Year (as defined in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions) shall not include (i) Operating Costs attributable to temporary market-wide labor-rate increases and/or utility rate increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to Force Majeure, conservation surcharges boycotts, embargoes, or other shortages, (ii) one-time special assessments, charges costs or fees or extraordinary charges or costs incurred in the Base Year only, or (iii) amortization of any capital items including, but not limited to, capital improvements capital repairs and capital replacements (including such amortized costs where the actual improvement, repair or replacement was made in prior years). In no event shall the components of Operating Costs for any calendar year related to any utility costs (including, without limitation, electrical costs) be less than the components of Operating Costs related to such utility costs in the Base Year. In addition, if in any calendar year subsequent to the Base Year, the amount of Operating Costs decreases due to a reduction in the cost of providing utilities, security and/or other services to the Project for any reason, including without limitation, because of deregulation of the utility industry and/or reduction in rates achieved in contracts with utilities and/or service providers, then for purposes of the calendar year in which such decrease in Operating Costs occurred and all subsequent calendar years, the Operating Costs for the Base Year shall be decreased by an amount equal to such decrease. In the event (i) the Commencement Date shall be a date other than January 1, (ii) the date fixed for the expiration of the Lease Term shall be a date other than December 31, (iii) of any early termination of this Lease, or (iv) of any increase or decrease in the size of the Premises, then in each such event, an appropriate adjustment in the application of this Paragraph 3 shall, subject to the provisions of this Lease, be made to reflect such event on a basis determined by Landlord to be consistent with the principles underlying the provisions of this Paragraph 3. In addition Landlord shall have the right from time to time to equitably allocate and prorate some or all of the Operating Costs among different tenants and /or different buildings of the Project and/or on a building-by-building basis (the “Cost Pools”), adjusting Tenant’s Proportionate Share as to each of the separately allocated costs based on the ratio of the Rentable Area of the Premises to the Rentable Area of all of the premises to which such costs are allocated. Such Cost Pools may include, without limitation, the office space tenants and retail space tenants of the buildings in the Project.

(f)    Prior to the commencement of each calendar year of the Lease Term following the Commencement Date Landlord shall have the right to give to Tenant a written estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the projected excess if any, of the Operating Costs for the Project for the ensuing year over the Base Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay such estimated amount to Landlord in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each month. Within a reasonable period after the end of each calendar year Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement indicating in reasonable detail the excess of Operating Costs over Base Operating Costs for such period, and the parties shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant’s estimated payments to Tenant’s actual share of such excess as indicated by such annual statement. Any payment due Landlord shall be payable by Tenant on demand from Landlord. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against installments next becoming due under this Paragraph 3(f) or refunded to Tenant if requested by Tenant.

(g)    All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any excise, transaction, sales, or privilege tax, assessment levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in estimated installments or upon demand at the option of Landlord, as additional rent to be allocated to monthly Operating Costs.

 

11.


(h)    Tenant shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency all taxes and assessments (i) levied against any personal property, tenant improvements or trade fixtures of Tenant in or about the Premises, (ii) based upon this Lease or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest in this Lease or an estate in all or any portion of the Premises (other than Landlord’s income taxes), and (iii) levied for any business, professional or occupational license fees. If any such taxes or assessments are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of the Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures, Tenant shall upon demand reimburse Landlord for the taxes and assessments so levied against Landlord, or such taxes, levies and assessments resulting from such increase in assessed value. To the extent that any such taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced to Tenant by Landlord.

(i)    Any delay or failure of Landlord in (i) delivering any estimate or statement described in this Paragraph 3, or (ii) computing or billing Tenants Proportionate Share of excess Operating Costs shall not constitute a waiver of its right to require an increase in Rent, or in any way impair, the continuing obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 3. lo the event of any dispute as to any Additional Rent due under this Paragraph 3, Tenant an officer of Tenant or Tenant’s certified public accountant (but (a) in no event shall Tenant hire or employ an accounting firm of accountants or any person to audit Landlord a set forth under this Paragraph who is compensated or paid for such audit on a contingency basis and (b) in the event Tenant hires or employs an independent party to perform such audit, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the engagement letter) shall have the right after reasonable notice and at reasonable times to inspect Landlords accounting records at Landlord’s accounting office. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, upon Tenant’s written request there for, a certification as to the proper amount of Operating Costs and the amount due to or payable by Tenant shall be made by an independent certified public accountant mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree to an independent certified public accountant, then the parties agree that Landlord shall choose an independent certified public accountant to conduct the certification as to the proper amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs due by Tenant for the period in question; provided, however, such certified public accountant shall not be the accountant who conducted Landlord’s initial calculation of Operating Costs to which Tenant is now objecting or an accountant regularly employed by Land lo rd. Such certification shall be final and conclusive as to all parties. If the certification reflects that Tenant has overpaid Tenant s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for the period in question, then Landlord shall credit such excess to Tenant s next payment of Operating Costs or, at the request of Tenant, promptly refund such excess to Tenant and conversely, if Tenant has underpaid Tenants Proportionate Share of Operating Costs, Tenant shall promptly pay such additional Operating Costs to Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such certification and the investigation with respect thereto; provided, however if it is determined that Landlord’s original statement was in error in Landlord’s favor by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant up to a maximum of $3,500 towards Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such certification and investigation. Tenant waives the right to dispute any matter relating to the calculation of Operating Costs or Additional Rent under this Paragraph 3 if any claim or dispute is not asserted in writing to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after delivery to Tenant of the original billing statement with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall maintain strict confidentiality of all of Landlord’s accounting records and shall not disclose the same to any other person or entity except for Tenant’s professional advisory representatives (such as Tenant’s employees, accountants advisor attorneys and consultants) with a need to know such accounting information, who agree to similarly maintain the confidentiality of such financial information.

(j)    Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of excess Operating Costs for the year in which this Lease terminates Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the estimated Operating Costs paid, and conversely any overpayment made by Tenant shall be promptly refunded to Tenant by Landlord.

(k)    Tenant shall pay all sales and use tax levied or assessed against all Basic Annual Rent, Tenant s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and any other payments due under this Lease simultaneously with each installment of Basic Annual Rent Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and any other payment required hereunder.

 

12.


(l)    Tenant shall not be obligated to pay for Controllable Operating Costs in any year to the extent they have increased by more than five percent (5%) per annum compounded annually on a cumulative basis from the first calendar year during the Lease Term. For purposes of this Lease Controllable Operating Costs shall mean all Operating Costs except for Real Estate Taxes, insurance premiums, janitorial costs, wages and salaries affected by the minimum wage costs arising from change in laws, utility costs and snow and ice removal for the Building and the Project.

Tenant shall increase the amounts of insurance or the insurance coverages as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time, but not in excess of the requirements of prudent landlords or lenders for similar tenants occupying similar premises in the San Jose, California metropolitan area.

(iii)    Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises without delivering the certificates of insurance shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligations to provide the required coverages. If Tenant provides to Landlord a certificate that does not evidence the coverages required herein or that is faulty in any respect such shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligations to provide the proper insurance.

(iv)    Throughout the Lease Term Landlord agrees to maintain (i) fire and extended coverage insurance, and, at Landlord’s option earthquake damage coverage, terrorism coverage, wind and hurricane coverage, and such additional property insurance coverage as Landlord deems appropriate on the insurable portions of Building and the remainder of the Project in an amount not less than the fair replacement value

Any fire, extended coverage or property insurance policy maintained by Tenant with respect to the Premises, or Landlord with respect to the Building or the Project, shall contain in the case of Tenant’s policies, a waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement in favor of Landlord, and in the case of Landlord’s policies, a waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement in favor of Tenant, or, in the event that such insurers cannot or shall not include or attach such waiver of subrogation provision or endorsement Tenant and Landlord shall obtain the approval and consent of their respective insurers in writing, to the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect defend and hold harmless each and all of the Landlord Indemnitees from and against any claim, suit or cause of action asserted or brought by Tenant’s insurers for, on behalf of or in the name of Tenant including, but not limited to, claims for contribution, indemnity or subrogation brought in contravention of this paragraph. Landlord agrees to indemnify protect, defend and hold harm less Tenant from and against any claim, suit or cause of action asserted or brought by Landlord’s insurers for, on behalf of, or in the name of Landlord, including but not limited to, claims for contribution, indemnity or subrogation, brought in contravention of this paragraph.

(h)    Increase in Landlord’s Insurance Costs. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord any increase in premiums for Landlord’s insurance policies resulting from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises.

(i)    Failure to Maintain Insurance. Any failure of Tenant to obtain and maintain the insurance policies and coverages required hereunder or failure by Tenant to meet any of the insurance requirements of this Lease hall constitute an event of default hereunder and such failure shall entitle Landlord to pursue, exercise or obtain any of the remedies provided for in Paragraph 12(b), and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any loss suffered by Landlord as a result of such failure. In the event of failure by Tenant to maintain the insurance policies and coverages required by this Lease or to meet any of the insurance requirements of this Lease, Landlord, at its option and without relieving Tenant of its obligations hereunder may obtain said insurance policies and coverages or perform any other insurance obligation of Tenant, but all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining such insurance or performing Tenant’s insurance obligations shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord, together with interest on same from the date any such cost or expense was paid by Landlord until reimbursed by Tenant, at the rate of interest provided to be paid on judgments, by the law of the jurisdiction to which the interpretation of this Lease is subject.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Landlord’s obligation to rebuild repair or restore the Premises shall not apply to any personal property, above-standard tenant improvements or other item installed or contained in the Premises, and (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to rebuild repair or restore the Premises with respect to any damage or destruction occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term or any extension of the Lease Term.

(b)    Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease in any of the follow in g cases of damage or destruction to the Premises the Building or the Project: (i) where the cost of rebuilding, repairing and restoring (collectively, “Restoration”) of the Building or the Project, would regardless of the lack of damage to the Premises or access thereto, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, exceed twenty percent (20%) of the then replacement cost of the Building; (ii) where, in the case of any damage or destruction to any portion of the Building or the Project by uninsured casualty, the cost of Restoration of the Building or the Project, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord exceeds $500,000; or (iii) where in the case of any damage or destruction to the Premises or access thereto by uninsured casualty the cost of Restoration of the Premises or access thereto in the reasonable opinion of Landlord exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the replacement cost of the Premises; or (iv) if Landlord has not obtained appropriate zoning approvals for reconstruction of the Project, Building or Premises. Any such termination shall be made by thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days of the date of such damage or destruction. If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord and as the result of any damage or destruction, the Premise or a portion there of, are rendered untenantable, the Basic Annual Rent shall abate reasonably during the period of Restoration (based upon the extent to which such damage and Restoration materially interfere with Tenant s business in the Premises); provided however Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises are rendered untenantable for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of damage or destruction (the “270 Day Period”) by delivering written notice to Landlord of its intent to terminate this Lease after the 270 Day Period but prior to the substantial completion of the Restoration of the Building. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Premises the Building or the Project. This Lease sets forth the terms and conditions upon which this Lease may terminate in the event of any damage or destruction.

10.

EMINENT DOMAIN

In the event the whole of the Premises, the Building or the Project shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold to prevent the exercise thereof (collectively, a “Taking”), this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such Taking. In the event a Taking of a portion of the Project, the Building or the Premises shall in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, substantially interfere with Landlord operation thereof, Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant given at any time within sixty (60) days following the date of such Taking. For purposes of this Lease, the date of Taking shall be the earlier of the date of transfer of title resulting from such Taking or the date of transfer of possession resulting from such Taking. In the event that a portion of the Premises is so taken and this Lease is not terminated Landlord shall to the extent of proceeds paid to Landlord as a result of the Taking with reasonable diligence use commercially reasonable efforts to proceed to restore (to the extent permitted by Law and covenants, conditions and restrictions then applicable to the Project) the Premises (other than Tenant’s personal property and fixtures and above-standard tenant improvements) to a complete, functioning unit. In such case, the Basic Annual Rent shall be reduced proportionately based on the portion of the Premises so taken. If all or any portion of the Premises is the subject of a temporary Taking this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to perform each of its obligations under this Lease; in such case, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire award allocable to the temporary Taking of the Premises. Except as provided herein, Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for, and hereby assigns to Landlord any compensation in connection with any such Taking, and Landlord shat I be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award therefor, without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant.

This Paragraph 10 shall be Tenants sole and

 

21.


exclusive remedy in the event of a Taking. This Lease sets forth the terms and conditions upon which this Lease may terminate in the event of a Taking.

11.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

(a)    Tenant shall not directly or indirectly voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, assign sublet, mortgage hypothecate or otherwise encumber all or any portion of its interest in this Lease or in the Premises or grant any license in or suffer any person other than Tenant or its employees to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any such attempted assignment subletting, license, mortgage hypothecation, other encumbrance or other use or occupancy without the consent of Landlord shall be null and void and of no effect. Any mortgage, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises and any grant of a license or sufferance of any person other than Tenant or its employees to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof shall be deemed to be an “assignment” of this Lease. In addition as used in this Paragraph 11, the term “Tenant” shall also mean any entity that has guaranteed Tenant s obligations under this Lease, and the restrictions applicable to Tenant contained herein shall also be applicable to such guarantor.

(b)    No assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the Rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any subletting or assignment. Consent by Landlord to one subletting or assignment shall not be deemed to constitute a consent to any other or subsequent attempted subletting or assignment. If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord all pertinent information relating to the proposed assignee or sublessee, all pertinent information relating to the proposed assignment or sublease, and all such financial information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning Tenant and the proposed assignee or subtenant. Any assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

(c)    At any time within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the information specified in subparagraph (b) above Landlord may by written notice to Tenant elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises so proposed to be subleased or assigned (which may include all of the Premises), with a proportionate abatement in the Rent payable hereunder.

(d)    Tenant acknowledges that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease in any of the following instances:

(i)    The assignee or sublessee (or any affiliate of the assignee or sublessee) is not in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficiently creditworthy to perform the obligations such assignee or sublessee will have under this Lease;

(ii)    The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee is not for general office use;

(iii)    The intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would materially increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises or the Building;

(iv)    Occupancy of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, violate any agreement binding upon Landlord, the Building or the Project with regard to the identity of tenants, usage in the Building, or similar matters;

(v)    The assignee or sublessee (or any affiliate of the assignee or sublessee) is then negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord within the previous six (6) months, or is a current tenant or subtenant within the Building or Project;

 

22.


(vi)    The identity or business reputation of the assignee or sublessee will, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, tend to damage the goodwill or reputation of the Building or Project;

(vii)    the proposed sublease would result in more than two subleases of portions of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Lease Term;

(viii)    the net effective rent payable by the assignee or sublessee (adjusted on a square foot of Rentable Area basis) is less than the net effective rent then being quoted by Landlord for new leases in the Building for comparable size space for a comparable period of time; or

(ix)    In the case of a sublease, the subtenant has not acknowledged that the Lease controls over any inconsistent provision in the sublease.

The foregoing criteria shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to refuse its consent to such assignment or sub lease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed assignee or sublessee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease or otherwise has breached its obligations under this Paragraph 11 their sole remedy shall be to seek a declaratory judgment and/or injunctive relief without any monetary damages, and, with respect thereto, Tenant on behalf of itself and, to the extent permitted by law, such proposed assignee /sublessee, hereby waives all other remedies against Landlord, including, without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages or to terminate this Lease.

(e)    Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall at all times during the Initial Term and any subsequent renewals or extensions remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease. In the event that the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the Rent payable under this Lease then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, one-half (1/2) of all such excess Rent and other excess consideration (after deducting Tenant’s reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such sublease or assignment) within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant.

(f)    If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises is subleased (whether in whole or in part), or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant’s leasehold interest, or grant of any concession or license within the Premises, or if the Premises are occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph apply the amount collected to the next Rent payable hereunder and all such Rent collected by Tenant shall be held in deposit for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord. No such transaction or collection of Rent or application thereof by Landlord, however, shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties or obligations hereunder.

(g)    If Tenant effects an assignment or sublease or requests the consent of Landlord to any proposed assignment or sublease, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), plus any reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment or sublease or request for consent. Acceptance of the One Thousand Dollar ($1,000.00) administrative fee and/or reimbursement of Landlord’s attorneys and paralegal fees shall in no event obligate Landlord to consent to any proposed assignment or sublease.

(h)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary in the event this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute the property of Tenant or Tenant’s estate within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. All such money and other consideration not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.

 

23.


12.

DEFAULT

(a)    Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default (herein so called) under this Lease by Tenant: (i) the failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, where such failure continues for three (3) business days after written notice thereof from Landlord that such payment was not received; (ii) the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant other than monetary failures as specified in clause (i) Paragraphs 12(a)(i) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the date of such notice from Landlord; (iii) the making by Tenant or any guarantor hereof of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor hereof of a petition to have Tenant or any guarantor hereof adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless in the case of a petition filed against Tenant or any guarantor hereof, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days), (v) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or of substantially all of guarantor’s assets, where possession is not restored to Tenant or guarantor within sixty (60) days, or (vi) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of substantially all of guarantor’s assets or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days; (vii) any material representation or warranty made by Tenant or guarantor in this Lease or any other document delivered in connection with the execution and delivery of this Lease or pursuant to this Lease proves to be incorrect in any material respect; (viii) Tenant or guarantor shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution; or (ix) the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.

Any notice sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 12(a) shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161.

(b)    Landlord’s Remedies; Termination. In the event of any event of default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:

(i)    the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii)    the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iii)    the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

(iv)    any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenants failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to: unamortized Tenant Improvement costs; attorneys’ fees; brokers’ commissions; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant’s personal properly, equipment, fixtures, Tenant Changes, Tenant Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove.

As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of Paragraph 12(b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate (as defined below). As used in subparagraph (iii) of Paragraph 12(b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank

 

24.


of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). The term “Default Rate” as used in this Lease shall mean the lesser of (A) the rate announced from time to time by Wells Fargo Bank or, if Wells Fargo bank ceases to exist or ceases to publish such rate, then the rate announced from time to time by the largest (as measured by deposits) chartered bank operating in California, as its “prime rate” or “reference rate”, plus three percent (3%), or (B) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law.

(c)    Landlords Remedies; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any event of default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of pursuant to Paragraph 5(c) of this Lease or any other procedures permitted by applicable law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 12(c), and no acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other action on Landlord’s part, shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)    Continuation of Lease. Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any event of default by Tenant. Landlord may from time to time without terminating this Lease enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

(e)    Landlord’s Right to Perform. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement or offset of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money (other than Monthly Basic Rent) or perform any other act on its part to be paid or performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for three (3) business days with respect to monetary obligations (or ten (10) day with respect to non-monetary obligations, except in case of emergencies, in which such case such shorter period of time as is reasonable under the circumstances) after Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant s obligations make such payment or perform such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs incurred by Landlord in performing such other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days after demand therefor as additional rent.

(f)    Interest. If any monthly installment of Rent or Operating Expenses, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord by the date when due it shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date due until paid. All interest, and any late charges imposed pursuant to Paragraph 12(g) below shall be considered additional rent due from Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease.

(g)    Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that in addition to interest costs the late payments by Tenant to Landlord of any monthly installment of Basic Annual Rent Additional Rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such other costs include without limitation, processing, administrative and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage deed of trust or related loan documents encumbering the Premises, the Building or the Project. Accordingly if any monthly installment of Annual Basic Rent Additional Rent or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord by the due date thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the overdue amount as a late charge, but in no event more than the maximum late charge allowed by law. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any late payment as hereinabove referred to by Tenant, and the payment of late charges and interest are distinct and separate in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for the use of Landlord’s money by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for Landlord s processing administrative and other costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s delinquent payments. Acceptance of a late charge or interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity now or hereafter in effect.

 

25.


(h)    Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Paragraph 12 and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity whether or not stated in this Lease.

If the BLS changes the base reference period for the Cost of Living Index from 1982-1984 = 100 the cost-of-living adjustment shall be determined with the use of such conversion formula or table as may be published by the BLS. If the BLS otherwise substantially revises, or ceases publication of, the Cost of Living Index, then a substitute index for determining cost-of-living adjustments, issued by the BLS or by a reliable governmental or other nonpartisan publication, shall be reasonably selected by Landlord.

Nothing herein shall affect the rights of Landlord at any time to remove any such unauthorized persons from said areas or to prevent the use of any of said areas by unauthorized persons. Landlord reserves the right to make such changes, alterations, additions, deletions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Building, the Project (including the Premises) and the Common Areas as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, including, without limitation constructing new buildings and making changes in the location size shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading areas, landscaped areas and walkways; provided however, that (i) there shall be no unreasonable permanent obstruction of access to or use of the Premises resulting therefrom and (ii) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interruption with Tenant s use of the Premises. In the event that the Project is not completed on the date of execution of this Lease, Landlord shall have the sole judgment and discretion to determine the architecture, design appearance construct ion, workmanship, materials and equipment with respect to construction of the Project.

(c)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord specifically reserves the right to redefine the term “Project” for purposes of allocating and calculating Operating Costs so as to include or exclude areas as Landlord shall from time to time determine or specify (and any such determination or specification shall be without prejudice to Landlord’s right to revise thereafter such determination or specification). In addition, Landlord shall have the right to contract or otherwise arrange for amenities, services or utilities (the cost of which is included within Operating Costs) to be on a common or shared basis to both the Project (i.e., the area with respect to which Operating Costs are determined) and adjacent areas not included within the Project so long as the basis on which the cost of such amenities, services or utilities is allocated to the Project is determined on an arms-length basis or some other basis reasonably determined by Landlord. In the case where the definition of the Project is revised for purposes of the allocation or determination of Operating Costs (i) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Building shall be appropriately revised to equal the percentage share of all Rentable Area contained within the Building (as then defined) represented by the Premises and (ii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Project shall be appropriately revised to equal the percentage share of all Rentable Area contained within the Project (as then defined) represented by the Premises. The Rentable Area of the Project is subject to adjustment by Landlord from time to time to reflect any re-measurement thereof by Landlord’s architect, at Landlord’s request, and/or as a result of any additions or deletions to any of the buildings in the Project as designated by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that in no event shall Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs increase due to Landlord redefining the term “Project.” Landlord shall have the sole right to determine which portions of the Project and other areas, if any, shall be served by common management, operation, maintenance and repair. Landlord shall also have the right, in its sole discretion, to allocate and prorate any portion or portions of the Operating Costs on a building-by-building bas is, on an aggregate basis of all buildings in the Project, or any other reasonable manner, and if allocated on a building-by-building basis, then Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall, as to the portion of the Operating Costs so allocated, be based on the ratio of the Rentable Area of the Premises to the Rentable Area of the Building. Landlord shall have the exclusive rights to the airspace above and around and the subsurface below, the Premises and other portions of the Building and Project.

31.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Tenant Improvements shall only be performed on the initial Premises (i.e., being Suite 500 only) being leased hereunder and in no event shall Landlord have any obligation whatsoever to perform any Tenant Improvements with respect to the Suite 600 Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in the event that the total cost of the Tenant Improvements (the “Cost of the Work”) exceeds the Landlord Amount (the “Excess”), then prior to commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall forward to Landlord any such Excess. For purposes of determining the Cost of the Work, a construction management fee payable to Landlord equal to three percent (3%) of the hard and soft costs of the Tenant Improvements shall be factored into the Cost of the Work. Landlord shall obtain a written non-binding itemized estimate of the costs of all Tenant Improvements shown in Exhibit B-1 as prepared by a general contractor selected by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that any cost estimates are prepared by the general contractor and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any inaccuracy in any such estimate. Within five (5) business days after receipt of the written non-binding cost estimate prepared by the general contractor, Tenant shall either (A) give its written approval thereof and authorization to proceed with construction or (B) immediately request the Landlord’s space planner to modify or revise the scope of the Tenant Improvements in any manner desired by Tenant to decrease the cost of the Tenant Improvements. If Tenant is silent during such five (5) business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such non-binding cost estimate as set forth in Clause (A) above. If the scope of the Tenant Improvements are revised pursuant to Clause (B) above, then Landlord shall request that the general contractor provide a revised cost estimate to Tenant based upon the revisions to the scope of the Tenant Improvements. Such modifications and revisions shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the general contractor’s original written cost estimate and the description, if any, of any Tenant Delay, Tenant shall give its final approval of the general contractor bid to Landlord which shall constitute authorization to commence the construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with Exhibit B-1, as modified or revised. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Work Letter, Landlord shall pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements, no later than the due dates reflected in the contractor invoices, up to the amount of the Landlord Amount and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be required to spend any monies in excess of the Landlord Amount in connection with completion of the Tenant Improvements. If the amount of the lowest qualified bid to perform the Tenant Improvements exceeds the Landlord Amount, Tenant shall bear the cost of such excess and shall pay the estimated cost of such excess to Landlord prior to commencement of construction of such Tenant Improvements and a final adjusting payment based upon the actual costs of the Tenant Improvements shall be made when the Tenant Improvements are completed. If the Cost of the Work is less than the Landlord Amount, then, subject to Paragraph (f) below, Tenant shall not receive any credit whatsoever for the difference between the actual Cost of the Work and the Landlord Amount. All remaining amounts due to Landlord shall be paid upon the earlier of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements or presentation of a written statement of the sums due, which statement may be an estimate of the cost of any component of the Tenant Improvements.

(b)    If Tenant shall desire any changes in the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing and Landlord shall determine whether such changes can be made in a reasonable and feasible manner. Any and all costs of reviewing any requested changes, and any and all costs of making any changes to the Tenant Improvements (including a coordination fee payable to Landlord in the amount of three percent (3%) of the cost of such changes) which Tenant may request and which Landlord may agree to shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be paid to Landlord upon demand and before execution of the change order (provided, however, to the extent any portion of the Landlord’s Amount is then unused and available, Tenant may apply such unused amounts of the Landlord’s Amount towards such change orders). Any such change orders requested by Tenant to the scope of the Tenant Improvements shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. Landlord hereby agrees that such change

 

B-1


orders (which are at Tenant’s cost and expense but subject to application of any unused portion of the Landlord’s Amount) may include a request by Tenant to repair or upgrade the air conditioning system in Suite 600 or to upgrade the access control system for the Premises; provided, however, such change orders shall be subject to Landlord’s review and reasonable approval.

(c)    Landlord shall proceed with and complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements. As soon as such improvements have been Substantially Completed, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the date that the Tenant Improvements were Substantially Completed. The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed substantially completed (“Substantially Completed”) when, in the opinion of the Landlord’s architect (whether an employee or agent of Landlord or a third party architect) (“Architect”), the initial Premises (i.e., the Suite 500 portion) being leased by Tenant are substantially completed except for punch list items which do not prevent in any material way the use of such Premises for the purposes for which they were intended. In the event Tenant, its employees, agents, or contractors cause construction of such Tenant Improvements to be delayed, the date of Substantial Completion shall be deemed to be the date that, in the opinion of the Architect, Substantial Completion would have occurred if such delays had not taken place. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be solely responsible for delays caused by Tenant’s request for any changes in the plans, Tenant’s request for long lead items or Tenant’s interference with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (each of the foregoing, a “Tenant Delay”), and such Tenant Delays shall not cause a deferral of the Commencement Date beyond what it otherwise would have been. After the Commencement Date Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises. In the event of any dispute as to the Tenant Improvements, including the Commencement Date, the certificate of the Architect shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)    The failure of Tenant to take possession of or to occupy the Premises shall not serve to relieve Tenant of obligations arising on the Commencement Date or delay the payment of Rent by Tenant. Delay in putting Tenant in possession of the Premises shall not serve to extend the Lease Term of this Lease or to make Landlord liable for any damages arising therefrom.

(e)    Except for incomplete punch list items, Tenant upon the Commencement Date shall have and hold the Premises as the same shall then be without any liability or obligation on the part of Landlord for making any further alterations or improvements of any kind in or about the Premises.

(f)    Under Budget Amounts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the total Cost of the Work is less than the Landlord Amount (the difference between the Cost of the Work and the Landlord Amount being referred to herein as the “Under Budget Amount”), then Landlord agrees that, upon Tenant’s written request and subject to the further terms of this Paragraph (f), Tenant shall have the right to have up to (but not to exceed) $88,195.00 out of such Under Budget Amount disbursed to Tenant as a reimbursement of the actual out-of-pocket expenses paid by Tenant to third parties in connection with Tenant’s move to the Premises, including space planning and design, built-in and movable furniture and the installation of Tenant’s wiring and cabling in the Premises (the “Moving Reimbursement”); provided, however, in no event shall (x) the total amount advanced by Landlord to Tenant for the Moving Reimbursement exceed the lesser of the amount of the Under Budget Amount or $88,195.00, and (y) the amount advanced by Landlord for the Cost of the Work and/or the Moving Reimbursement exceed the Landlord Amount. In the event Tenant desires any such reimbursement, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the amounts that Tenant wants reimbursed (which such request shall include actual copies of paid invoices reflecting amounts Tenant desires to have reimbursed) within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date, and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Tenant fails to so notify Landlord in writing of such amounts Tenant desires to have reimbursed within said sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall not be entitled to any such reimbursement and all such Under Budget Amount shall belong to Landlord and Tenant shall have no rights thereto.

ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT

BY AND BETWEEN

KBSIII ALMADEN FINANCIAL PLAZA, LLC

and

ZOOM VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

(a)    Provided that as of the time of the giving of the First Extension Notice and the Commencement Date of the First Extension Term, (i) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein, (ii) Tenant actually occupies all of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added to the Premises (including the Suite 600 Space), and (iii) no event of default exists or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for the entirety of the Premises for an additional term of five (5) years (such additional term is hereinafter called the “First Extension Term”) commencing on the day following the expiration of the Lease Term (hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date of the First Extension Term”). Tenant must give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the “First Extension Notice”) of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least six (6) months, but not more than nine (9) months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term.

(b)    Provided that as of the time of the giving of the Second Extension Notice and the Commencement Date of the Second Extension Term, (i) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein, (ii) Tenant actually occupies all of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added to the Premises (including the Suite 600 Space), and (iii) no event of default exists or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both and provided Tenant has exercised its option for the First Extension Term; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for the entirety of the Premises for an additional term of five (5) years (such additional term is hereinafter called the “Second Extension Term”) commencing on the day following the expiration of the First Extension Term (hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date of the Second Extension Term”). Tenant must give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the “Second Extension Notice”) of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least six (6) months, but not more than nine (9) months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the First Extension Term.

(c)    The Basic Annual Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the First Extension Term shall be the then prevailing market rate for comparable space in the Project and comparable buildings in the Downtown San Jose area, taking into account the size of the Lease, the length of the renewal term, market escalations and the credit of Tenant. The Basic Annual Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord’s not having to find a new tenant for such premises (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, costs of improvements, rent concessions or lost rental income during any vacancy period). In the event Landlord and Tenant fail to reach an agreement on such rental rate and execute the Amendment (defined below) at least five (5) months prior to the expiration of the Lease, then Tenant’s exercise of the renewal option shall be deemed withdrawn and the Lease shall terminate on its original expiration date.

(d)    The Basic Annual Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Second Extension Term shall be the then prevailing market rate for comparable space in the Project and comparable buildings in the Downtown San Jose area, taking into account the size of the Lease, the length of the renewal term, market escalations and the credit of Tenant. The Basic Annual Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord’s not having to find a new tenant for such premises (including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, costs of improvements, rent concessions or lost rental income during any vacancy period). In the event Landlord and Tenant fail to reach an agreement on such rental rate and execute the Amendment (defined below) at least five (5) months prior to the expiration date of the First Extension Term, then Tenant’s exercise of the renewal option shall be deemed withdrawn and the Lease shall terminate at the end of the First Extension Term.

 

Addendum One-1


(e)    The determination of Basic Annual Rent does not reduce the Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for Operating Costs and other reimbursable items as set forth in the Lease, and Tenant shall reimburse and pay Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such Operating Costs and other items with respect to the Premises during the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term without regard to any cap on such costs and/or expenses set forth in the Lease.

(f)    Except for the Basic Annual Rent during the First Extension Term as determined above, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the First Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to any allowances, credits or abatements or any options to expand, contract, terminate, renew or extend the Lease. Except for the Basic Annual Rent during the Second Extension Term as determined above, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the Second Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the First Extension Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to any allowances, credits or abatements or any options to expand, contract, terminate, renew or extend the Lease.

(g)    If Tenant does not give the First Extension Notice within the period set forth in Paragraph (a) above, Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term for the First Extension Term and the Second Extension Term shall automatically terminate. If Tenant does not give the Second Extension Notice within the period set forth in Paragraph (b) above, Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term for the Second Extension Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the First Extension Notice and the Second Extension Notice.

(h)    Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the First Extension Term and the Commencement Date of the Second Extension Term in “as-is”, “where-is”, and “with all faults” condition.

(i)    If the Lease is extended for either the First Extension Term or the Second Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term and the other provisions applicable thereto (the “Amendment”).

(j)    If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the First Extension Term or the Second Extension Term pursuant to this Addendum One, the term “Lease Term” as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, the First Extension Term or the Second Extension Term, as applicable, except as provided in Paragraph (f) above.

 

Addendum One-2


ADDENDUM TWO

ONE-TIME RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT

BY AND BETWEEN

KBSIII ALMADEN FINANCIAL PLAZA, LLC

and

ZOOM VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

(a)    “Offered Space” shall mean a minimum of one (1) full floor of leasable area in the Building, which is not already included in the Premises. For the avoidance of doubt, this one-time right of first offer shall not be triggered unless at least one (1) full floor in the Building is available (i.e., meaning if less than a full floor is available then Landlord shall be permitted to lease such partial floor without triggering Tenant’s right of first offer hereunder); provided, however, as set forth below in Paragraph (d), if Landlord desires to lease more than just the Offered Space to one tenant, Landlord may offer to Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof all such space which Landlord desires to lease, and Tenant must exercise its rights hereunder with respect to all such space and may not insist on receiving an offer for just the Offered Space. This is a one-time right and Landlord shall only be required to provide one (1) First Offer Notice to Tenant, irrespective if Tenant ultimately elects to exercise its right of first offer in response to such First Offer Notice or waive its rights under this Addendum Two in response to this First Offer Notice.

(b)    Provided that as of the date of the giving of the First Offer Notice, (i) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein, (ii) Tenant actually occupies all of the Premises originally demised under this Lease and any premises added to the Premises, and (iii) no event of default or event which but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an event of default has occurred and is continuing, if at any time during the Lease Term any portion of the Offered Space is vacant and unencumbered by any rights of any third party, then Landlord, before offering such Offered Space to anyone, other than the tenant then occupying such space (or its affiliates), shall offer to Tenant the right to include the Offered Space within the Premises on the same terms and conditions upon which Landlord intends to offer the Offered Space for lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, the right of first offer granted to Tenant under this Addendum Two shall be subject and subordinate to (i) the rights of all tenants at the Project under existing leases, and (ii) the herein reserved right of Landlord to renew or extend the term of any lease with the tenant then occupying such space (or any of its affiliates), whether pursuant to a renewal or extension option in such lease or otherwise.

(c)    Such offer shall be made by Landlord to Tenant in a written notice (hereinafter called the “First Offer Notice”) which offer shall designate the space being offered and shall specify the terms which Landlord intends to offer with respect to any such Offered Space. Tenant may accept the offer set forth in the First Offer Notice by delivering to Landlord an unconditional acceptance (hereinafter called “Tenant’s Notice”) of such offer within five (5) business days after delivery by Landlord of the First Offer Notice to Tenant. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of Tenant’s Notice. If Tenant does not accept (or fails to timely accept) an offer made by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Addendum Two with respect to the Offered Space designated in the First Offer Notice and execute the Amendment (defined below) within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the First Offer Notice, then Landlord shall be under no further obligation with respect to this Addendum Two. In addition, if Tenant does timely deliver a Tenant’s Notice in response to a First Offer Notice and thereafter timely executes an Amendment, this Addendum Two shall similarly be deemed deleted and of no further force or effect since this right of first offer is only a one-time right.

(d)    Tenant must accept all Offered Space offered by Landlord at any one time if it desires to accept any of such Offered Space and may not exercise its right with respect to only part of such space. In addition, if Landlord desires to lease more than just the Offered Space to one tenant, Landlord may offer to Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof all such space which Landlord desires to lease, and Tenant must exercise its rights hereunder with respect to all such space and may not insist on receiving an offer for just the Offered Space.

 

Addendum Two-1


(e)    If Tenant at any time declines any Offered Space offered by Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived all further rights under this Addendum Two, and Landlord shall be free to lease the Offered Space to third parties including on terms which may be less favorable to Landlord than those offered to Tenant.

(f)    In the event that Tenant exercises its rights to any Offered Space pursuant to this Addendum Two, then Landlord shall prepare, and Tenant shall execute, an amendment to the Lease which confirms such expansion of the Premises and the other provisions applicable thereto (the “Amendment”).

ADDENDUM THREE

CANCELLATION OPTION

ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT

BY AND BETWEEN

KBSIII ALMADEN FINANCIAL PLAZA, LLC

and

ZOOM VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

Provided no event of default shall then exist under the Lease and no condition shall then exist which with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an event of default under the Lease, Tenant shall have the right at any time on or before the last day of the thirtieth (30th) full calendar month following the Commencement Date to send Landlord irrevocable written notice (the “Termination Notice”) that Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease, effective on the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) full calendar month following the Commencement Date (“Termination Date”).

If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the effectiveness of such termination shall be conditioned upon Tenant paying to Landlord, simultaneously with Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice to Landlord, a termination fee equal to the sum of $321,753.64 (collectively the “Termination Fee”). Such Termination Fee is consideration for Tenant’s option to terminate and shall not be applied to Rent or any other obligation of Tenant. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of all obligations accruing under this Lease after the Termination Date, but not any obligations accruing under the Lease prior to the effective date of such termination. Both Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to affix damages if Tenant terminates this Lease and that the Termination Fee set forth above represents a reasonable estimate of Landlord’s damages in the event Tenant terminates this Lease under this Addendum. If Tenant does not timely deliver the Termination Notice or Termination Fee to Landlord, then this termination option shall become null and void and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE

This First Amendment to Office Lease (this “First Amendment”) is entered into by and between KBSIII ALMADEN FINANCIAL PLAZA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ZOOM VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), and shall be effective on the date that Landlord executes this First Amendment (the “Effective Date”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Office Lease (the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant leases from Landlord certain premises containing 35,153 square feet of Rentable Area, designated as Suites 500 and 600, in the building located at 55 Almaden Boulevard, San Jose, California (the “Building”); and

WHEREAS, Tenant desires an increased allowance with respect to the Moving Reimbursement, and Landlord has agreed to permit the same in accordance with the terms of this First Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the foregoing, and for valuable consideration and in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and in the Lease, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Lease is hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)

Defined Terms: Lease. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Lease, unless otherwise defined in this First Amendment, and the recitals above are agreed to be true.

 

(b)

Moving Reimbursement. Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant’s maximum reimbursement, as originally set forth in Paragraph (f) of Exhibit B to the Lease, from the Under Budget Amount shall be increased from $88,195.00 to $132,292.50. For the avoidance of doubt, the Landlord Amount shall remain at $352,780.00. In addition, (i) the phrase “within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date” as set forth in the last sentence of Paragraph (f) of Exhibit B to the Lease shall be revised to be “by July 31, 2017” and (ii) the phrase “within said sixty (60) day period” as set forth in the last sentence of Paragraph (f) of Exhibit B to the Lease shall be revised to be “by July 31, 2017.”

Landlord Amount Allocation. Subject to Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtaining written consent satisfactory to Landlord from Armanino LLP, which consent confirms that Landlord may construct a portion of the Tenant Improvements in the Suite 600 Space in accordance with the terms of Exhibit B, Landlord shall allow up to $100,000.00 of the Landlord Amount to be used toward the Cost of the Work in connection with the Suite 600 Space. Landlord may require Armanino LLP to enter into a side-letter agreement with Landlord to confirm Armanino LLP’s consent prior to constructing any Tenant Improvements in the Suite 600 Space. In the event Tenant is unable to obtain satisfactory evidence of Armanino LLP’s consent to Landlord constructing a portion of the Tenant Improvements in the Suite 600 Space, then Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work in the Suite 600 Space and this Paragraph (c) shall be rendered null and void.

 

(d)

Miscellaneous. With the exception of those terms and conditions specifically modified and amended herein, the herein referenced Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with all its terms and conditions. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this First Amendment and the terms and provisions of the Lease, the terms and provisions of this First Amendment shall supersede and control.

To facilitate execution of this First Amendment, the parties may execute and exchange telefaxed or e-mailed counterparts of the signature pages and such counterparts shall serve as originals.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE

This Second Amendment to Office Lease (this “Second Amendment”) is made and entered into by and between KBSIII ALMADEN FINANCIAL PLAZA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ZOOM VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), and shall be effective for all purposes as of the date that Landlord executes this Second Amendment as reflected in the signature page below (the “Effective Date”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Office Lease dated August 1, 2016 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Office Lease dated October 31, 2016 (the “First Amendment;” the Original Lease, as so amended, being the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant is currently leasing from Landlord certain premises containing a total of 17,639 square feet of Rentable Area designated as Suite 500 (the “Suite 500 Space”) in the building known as 55 Almaden Boulevard San Jose, California (the “Building”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, on November 1, 2018 (the “Suite 600 Commencement Date”), Tenant will commence to lease from Landlord on a direct basis that certain 17,514 square feet of Rentable Area designated as Suite 600 (the “Suite 600 Space”) in the Building;

WHEREAS, Tenant desires to further expand the “Premises” under the Lease;

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to expand the Premises and further amend the Lease as more particularly described hereinbelow;

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the foregoing, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Lease, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Lease is hereby amended as follows:

 

1.

Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Lease, unless otherwise defined in this Second Amendment.

 

2.

Expansion of Premises.

 

  (a)

Suite 400 Space. Landlord is currently leasing certain space containing approximately 17,576 square feet of Rentable Area designated as Suite 400 (the “Suite 400 Space”) to Western Alliance Bank (“Western Bank”) pursuant to a lease agreement (the “Western Bank Lease”) scheduled to expire at a future date. Tenant is leasing the Suite 400 Space from Western Bank pursuant to a sublease agreement (the “Tenants Sublease”), which is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2019. Concurrently herewith, Landlord is amending the Western Bank Lease in order to reduce the premises leased by Western Bank under the Western Bank Lease by the Suite 400 Space and as of the Effective Date hereof the Premises under the Lease is hereby deemed expanded by the Suite 400 Space (such date shall be known as the “Suite 400 Commencement Date”). The Suite 400 Space is more particularly shown in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes.

 

  (b)

Suite 900 Space in One Almaden Boulevard. Effective as of January 1, 2019 (the “Suite 900 Commencement Date”), the Premises shall be expanded to include that certain 13,291 square foot of Rentable Area (the “Suite 900 Space”) in that certain office building located in the Project having an address of One Almaden, San Jose, California (the “One Almaden Building”), for a term that is coterminous with the Lease Term, as extended pursuant to

 

1


  Paragraph 3 below. The Suite 900 Space is more particularly shown in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes. Landlord shall relocate an existing tenant that is currently occupying a portion of the Suite 900 Space. Upon completing such relocation, then Landlord shall deliver possession of the Suite 900 Space to Tenant in order for Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit B. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant, nor shall Landlord be in default under this Lease in the event there is any delay in delivery of the Suite 900 Space to Tenant as a result of any holding over by any tenant currently occupying the Suite 900 Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord has not delivered possession of the Suite 900 Space to Tenant in the condition required herein on or before the date that is sixty (60) days following full execution of this Second Amendment, then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, for each day thereafter that Landlord has failed to deliver possession of the Suite 900 Space to Tenant, the Suite 900 Commencement Date shall be extended for one (1) day. With respect to the references to “Building” in the Lease, such references shall mean and refer to the One Almaden Building as the context requires with respect to the Suite 900 Space.

 

3.

Lease Term. The Lease Term, which is currently scheduled to expire on August 31, 2021 (the “Existing Expiration Date”), is hereby extended for an additional period of time, commencing on September 1, 2021 (the “Extension Term Commencement Date”) and continuing through and expiring on February 28, 2027 (the “Extension Term”).

 

4.

Confirmation of the Premises. For the time period from the Effective Date through the day immediately preceding the Suite 600 Commencement Date, the “Premises” under the Lease shall be deemed to contain a total of 35,215 square feet of Rentable Area consisting of the Suite 400 Space and the Suite 500 Space. Thereafter, commencing on the Suite 600 Space Commencement Date and continuing thereafter through the day immediately preceding the Suite 900 Commencement Date, the “Premises” shall contain a total of 52,729 square feet of Rentable Area consisting of the Suite 400 Space, Suite 500 Space and Suite 600 Space. Thereafter, commencing on the Suite 900 Space Commencement Date and continuing thereafter through the remainder of the Extension Term, the “Premises” shall contain a total of 66,020 square feet of Rentable Area, consisting of the Suite 400 Space, Suite 500 Space, Suite 600 Space and Suite 900 Space.

 

5.

Basic Annual Rent.

 

  (a)

Suite 500 Space. Tenant shall continue to pay Basic Annual Rent with respect to the Suite 500 Space in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease through the Existing Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that Tenant elects the disbursement of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance (as defined in Paragraph 6 below) allocable to the Suite 500 Space prior to the Existing Expiration Date, then, effective as of the date that Landlord disburses any portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance attributable to the Suite 500 Space through the Existing Expiration Date, the Basic Annual Rent payable by Tenant with respect to the Suite 500 Space shall be equal to the following: (i) if such disbursement occurs prior to September 30, 2019, then from the date of the disbursement through September 30, 2019, Tenant shall pay Basic Annual Rent for the Suite 500 Space in an amount equal to $73,201.85 (which is equal to $4.15 per square foot of Rentable Area per month), (ii) if the disbursement has occurred, then, for the time period from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, Tenant shall pay Basic Annual Rent for the Suite 500 Space in an amount equal to $75,397.91 per month (which is equal to approximately $4.27 per square foot of Rentable Area per month), and (iii) if the disbursement has occurred, then, for the time period from October 1, 2020 through the Existing Expiration Date, Tenant shall pay Basic Annual Rent for the Suite 500 Space in an amount equal to $77,659.84 per month (which is equal to approximately $4.40 per

In the event Landlord disburses any portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance attributable to the Suite 500 Space prior to the Existing Expiration Date resulting in an adjustment of the Basic Annual Rent payable prior to the Existing Expiration Date as more particularly set forth above, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute a mutually agreeable rent confirmation letter agreement to document the date of such disbursement and the Basic Annual Rent payable for the Suite 500 Space prior to the Existing Expiration Date. Thereafter, commencing on the Extension Term Commencement Date and continuing thereafter through the Extension Term, the Basic Annual Rent payable with respect to the Suite 500 Space shall be as follows

In the event Landlord disburses any portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance attributable to the Suite 400 Space prior September 1, 2019 resulting in an adjustment of the Basic Annual Rent payable prior to such date as more particularly set forth above, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute a mutually agreeable rent confirmation letter agreement to document the date of such disbursement and the Basic Annual Rent payable for the Suite 400 Space prior to September 1, 2019.

7.

Condition of Premises. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant is currently in possession of the entirety of the Suite 400 Space (other than the portion of the Suite 400 Space currently occupied by Western Bank, which Landlord shall deliver to Tenant following Western Bank’s surrender of the same), Suite 500 Space and Suite 600 Space and agrees to accept the entirety of the Premises (inclusive of the Suite 900 Space) from Landlord, in their existing “AS-IS”, “WHERE-IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition, and, except as provided in the Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to refurbish or otherwise improve any portion of the Premises at any time during the Lease Term; provided, however, Landlord hereby agrees to provide to Tenant an allowance equal to $5,147,765.00 (which is equal to (i) $125.00 per square foot of

 

6


  Rentable Area for the Suite 600 Space, plus (ii) $75.00 per square foot of Rentable Area for the Suite 500 Space, plus (iii) $25.00 per square foot of Rentable Area for the Suite 400 Space, plus (iv) $90.00 per square foot of Rentable Area for the Suite 900 Space) (collectively, the “Landlords Construction Allowance”), which shall be utilized for the construction of certain improvements to the Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit B. In no event shall the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the Suite 500 Space be available prior to the Existing Expiration Date unless Tenant requests disbursement of the same prior to such date, in which case, effective as of the date Landlord disburses any portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the Suite 500 Space, the Basic Annual Rent and Base Year with respect to the Suite 500 Space shall be adjusted as set forth in Sections 5(a) and 6(b) above. In addition, in no event shall the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the Suite 400 Space be available prior to September 1, 2019 unless Tenant requests disbursement of the same prior to such date, in which case, effective as of the date that Landlord disburses any portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the Suite 400 Space, the Basic Annual Rent and Base Year with respect to the Suite 400 Space shall be adjusted as set forth in Sections 5(a) and 6(c) above.

With respect to the Suite 900 Space, Landlord agrees that upon delivery of the same to Tenant, such space shall be clean and the base Building systems serving the Suite 900 Space shall be in good working order based on the then existing condition and configuration of the Suite 900 Space.

 

8.

Permitted Transfers. Provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing under this Lease, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord (provided however, if Tenant is prohibited by applicable law or a confidentiality agreement to give such prior notice, then Tenant shall give such notice within ten (10) days following such transfer), Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign the Lease to an entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated or assign this Lease or sublease the Premises to an entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred or to an entity controlled by or is commonly controlled with Tenant (such sublease or assignment being a “Permitted Transfer”), provided (i) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets is for a good faith business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant’s leasehold estate, and (ii) the assignee or successor entity has a tangible net worth, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (and evidenced by financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) at least equal to the tangible net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer. The term “controlled by” or “commonly controlled with” shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such controlled person or entity; the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, at least fifty-one percent (51 %) of the voting interest in, any person or entity shall be presumed to constitute such control. Landlord’s recapture rights or rights to participate in any sublease proceeds shall not apply with respect to Permitted Transfers.

 

9.

Parking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant’s parking rights shall be governed by the terms of the Lease, except that in lieu of the ratio set forth in the Lease, Tenant shall receive a parking ratio of four (4) unreserved parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of Rentable Area in the Premises then being leased by Tenant. Thereafter, commencing on January 1, 2019 and continuing for the remainder of the Lease Term, Tenant’s parking rights shall be as set forth below:

 

  (a)

Standard Parking Allocation. Tenant shall receive a total of four (4) unreserved parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet (the “Standard Parking Allocation”) at no charge for

 

7


  the term of the Lease; provided, however, if Landlord’s prevailing rate for parking increases above the rate in effect as of the Effective Date hereof, Tenant shall be responsible for any increase above such rate (plus any applicable taxes on such amounts) for all of the parking spaces in the Standard Parking Allocation, and Tenant shall be invoiced accordingly.

 

  (b)

Month to Month Parking Spaces. Subject to availability as reasonably determined by Landlord (provided Tenant shall have the priority to any available spaces over any third parties who are not tenants or occupants of the Project, other than Adobe or employees or invitees of the SAP Center) Tenant shall be permitted to lease Month to Month Parking Spaces (i.e. over Tenant’s Standard Parking Allocation) on a month to month basis at the then prevailing rate charged for such unreserved parking spaces plus any applicable taxes. The current rate for said Month to Month Parking Spaces is $130.00 per space per month (plus any applicable taxes). Parking rates are subject to increase (not more than once annually) at the prevailing market rate. Tenant shall be invoiced for any increase in the parking rate.

 

10.

Additional Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Security Deposit (as set forth in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions) is hereby amended and increased to be $1,144,180.41 (the “New Security Deposit Amount”). Tenant has heretofore delivered to Landlord a Letter of Credit in the sum of $175,000.00 (the “Existing Letter of Credit”), and Tenant shall, concurrently with the execution of this Second Amendment, deliver to Landlord either (i) an amendment to the Existing Letter of Credit (such amendment being in a form acceptable to Landlord and otherwise consistent with the terms of Paragraph 2(c) of the Lease) increasing the amount of such Existing Letter of Credit to equal the New Security Deposit Amount or (ii) deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit in the total amount of the New Security Deposit Amount (such new Letter of Credit being in a form acceptable to Landlord and otherwise consistent with the terms of Paragraph 2(c) of the Lease). In the event Tenant delivers a replacement Letter of Credit in accordance with clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then Landlord agrees to surrender the Existing Letter of Credit to Tenant within five (5) business days after receipt of such replacement Letter of Credit.

 

11.

Density. The fourth (4th) sentence of Paragraph 6(e) of the Original Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Tenant shall not create within the Premises a working environment with a density of greater than the lesser of (i) seven (7) persons per 1,000 square feet of Rentable Area, or (ii) the maximum permitted by applicable laws, codes and ordinances; however, Tenant acknowledges that the Building HVAC system is not designed to properly cool working environments that exceed a density of five (5) persons per 1,000 square feet of Rentable Area and, to the extent the working environment within the Premises exceeds such density, except as noted below with respect to the FANWALL system, Landlord shall be responsible for the installation and cost of any modifications to the base Building HVAC that is required in order to be able to furnish the Premises with HVAC service consistent with the HVAC service provided at other Class A office buildings in the downtown San Jose area. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, to the extent that Tenant’s density in the Premises exceeds five (5) persons per 1,000 square feet of Rentable Area and either (i) the use of the third floor of the Building changes from its current usage as of the Effective Date or (ii) Landlord is required to modify the base Building HVAC system pursuant to the preceding sentence, then Tenant shall be responsible for the cost to install a FANWALL system, which Landlord shall design and install and invoice Tenant for the cost thereof. It is hereby agreed that Landlord may design (and Tenant shall pay) for such FANWALL system to be a supply plug fan

array, capable of delivering 150,000 CFM at 7.0” W.G> (Static pressure) complete with a new filter bank with 12-inch cartridge filters (min. Merv 14) and 2 inch pleaded pre-filters (min Merv 7), in v-shape form if needed to limit air velocity at below 500 FPM (feet per minute). In no event shall Landlord be responsible for any costs required to install supplemental HVAC units or capacity with respect to any server room of Tenant in the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable costs associated with such above-standard density, including, without limitation, any additional services required to be provided by Landlord (e.g., extra janitorial services), any modifications or alterations to the Premises or Common Areas to the extent required by applicable law, and any additional electricity or other utilities that may be used by Tenant. Landlord, at its option, may elect to cause the Premises to be separately metered for electricity and, in such case, Tenant shall pay for all electricity utilized by Tenant in the Premises as invoiced by Landlord from time to time. The costs to install, repair, maintain and replace any such separate meters or submeters shall be Tenants’ responsibility.”

 

12.

Signage.

 

  (a)

Monument Signage. The parties hereby agree that Paragraph 19(gg) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and of no further force and effect and Tenant shall no longer have any rights to install the New Monument Sign.

 

  (b)

Existing Fascia Sign/55 Almaden Building. Pursuant to Paragraph 19(ff) of the Original Lease, Tenant has installed a fascia sign on the Building (the “Existing Fascia Sign”). Subject to (i) prior written approval of Landlord as to the exact location, specifications, size, color, design and method of attachment, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, (ii) Tenant obtaining all approvals from the applicable governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and otherwise complying with all Applicable Rules and Restrictions (as defined below), and (iii) otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of Paragraph 19(ff), because the parties anticipate that the adjacent property owner will be constructing a building in the future that may affect the visibility of Tenant’s Existing Fascia Sign, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to relocate the Existing Fascia Sign to another location on the fascia of the Building. Tenant shall pay for all costs associated with the relocation of the Existing Fascia Sign as well as the restoration of the Building to the condition existing prior to the installation of the Existing Fascia Sign, reasonable wear and tear excepted, upon the removal of the Existing Fascia Sign at its current location following such relocation. Tenant shall continue to be obligated to pay the Fascia Sign Rent in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 19(ff) of the Original Lease; provided, however, following any such relocation, in the event Tenant believes that the market rental rate for the Existing Fascia Sign has diminished as a result of its decreased visibility, then Tenant may provide written notice to Landlord (a “Sign Rent Adjustment Notice”). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Sign Rent Adjustment Notice, Landlord may either (i) elect to negotiate a different Fascia Sign Rent rate with Tenant if Landlord agrees that the market rate for the Existing Fascia Sign has decreased and if the parties are unable to reach agreement within such thirty (30) day period, then submit the determination to the arbitration process noted below or (ii) elect to market to third parties (including any tenant or occupant of the Project) the right to install a fascia sign in the then current location of the Existing Fascia Sign. If Landlord selects the option described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then Landlord shall have a six (6) month period to market the right to install a fascia sign to third parties (including any existing tenants of the Project). If Landlord and a third party come to terms for the right for such third party to install a fascia sign in the then existing space of the Existing Fascia Sign, then Landlord shall provide written notice (the “Sign Offer Notice”) to Tenant outlining

 

9


  the rental rate proposed to be paid by such third party. Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) business days following receipt of such Sign Offer Notice in which to elect in writing to either match the terms set forth in the Sign Offer Notice or terminate its rights to such Existing Fascia Sign. If Tenant fails to respond within such ten (10) business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have terminated its rights to such Existing Fascia Sign. If Tenant terminates (or is deemed to have terminated) the rights to such Existing Fascia Sign, then Tenant shall be required to remove the Existing Fascia Sign within thirty (30) days after deliver of its written notice terminating its Existing Fascia Sign rights (or, in the event of a deemed termination, within thirty (30) days after expiration of such ten (10) business day period). If, within the six (6) period following Landlord’s receipt of the Sign Rent Adjustment Notice, Landlord is unable to locate a third party that is willing to lease the right to install a fascia sign in the then existing location of the Existing Fascia Sign, then Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an independent real estate broker with at least ten (10) years experience negotiating leases in Class A office buildings in downtown San Jose, who has not represented either Landlord or Tenant in the preceding five (5) year period. The two designated brokers shall meet and confer for a period of ten (10) business days in order to determine the then prevailing market rate for the right to install a fascia sign in the then existing location of the Existing Fascia Sign. If the two (2) brokers are unable to arrive at a decision, then they shall mutually appoint a third broker meeting the foregoing qualifications. Thereafter, the initial two (2) broker shall each submit to the third broker their respective determinations of the fair market rent for such fascia sign and the third broker shall select the rental rate that he/she believes is closest to the prevailing rental rate for such signage location. After such determination has been made, then the parties shall enter into an amendment in order to document the adjustment to the rental rate for the Existing Fascia Sign. Tenant shall only be permitted to deliver one Sign Rent Adjustment Notice and Tenant shall continue to pay the existing Fascia Sign Rent set forth in Paragraph 19(ff) until the date that the arbitrators reach their decision on a different rental rate for the Existing Fascia Sign.

 

  (c)

Additional Fascia Sign/55 Almaden Building. Provided that (x) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein or an assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, (y) Tenant is leasing and actually occupies at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises initially demised under this Second Amendment (i.e., the Suite 400 Space, Suite 500 Space and Suite 600 Space), and (z) no event of default has occurred and is continuing beyond applicable notice and cure periods (items (x) – (z) being the “Signage Conditions”), then, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, restrictions, rules and regulations, as well as all applicable covenants, restrictions or deed restrictions affecting the Project (collectively, the “Applicable Rules and Restrictions”), Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right throughout the Lease Term to install one sign on the Almaden-facing fascia of the Building (“Additional Fascia Sign”) provided that Landlord, acting reasonably, approves the Additional Fascia Sign (including all structural engineering and aesthetic aspects thereof) and the exact location where the same is to be installed. Tenant hereby acknowledges and understands that in no event is Landlord representing or guarantying that any such Additional Fascia Sign is permitted under Applicable Rules and Restrictions and, in the event the Applicable Rules and Restrictions do not permit any such Additional Fascia Sign, then this Second Amendment shall continue in full force and effect except that this Paragraph 12(c) shall be deemed null and void. Landlord hereby approves the location generally shown in Exhibit E attached hereto and the size, type and design set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto. The engineering, manufacture, installation, maintenance and removal of, and the procurement of all required approvals for, the Additional Fascia Sign shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The installation of the Additional Fascia Sign shall be in compliance with all Applicable Rules and Restrictions. Prior to the

 

10


  manufacturing or installing the Additional Fascia Sign, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or, except as expressly provided herein, conditioned, (i) a report from a structural engineer reasonably acceptable to Landlord providing that (A) the Building can adequately support the installation of the Additional Fascia Sign, and (B) the Additional Fascia Sign can and will be installed in a manner that will not damage, or otherwise affect or diminish the structural integrity of, the Building, and (ii) a detailed drawing indicating the size, layout, design, configuration, lettering and/or graphics and color of the proposed Additional Fascia Sign, together with the proposed location where the Additional Fascia Sign is to be installed. In the event Landlord approves the structural report, the Additional Fascia Sign and the location, Landlord shall evidence such approval in writing. Tenant shall install, repair, maintain, and remove the Additional Fascia Sign with contractors reasonably approved by Landlord. Any such contractors shall satisfy Landlord’s insurance and indemnification requirements prior to performing any work. Tenant agrees that the installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the Additional Fascia Sign shall be at Tenant’s sole risk. Tenant agrees to maintain the Additional Fascia Sign in good condition and repair and, prior to the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession under this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Additional Fascia Sign and restore the Building to the condition immediately prior to the installation of the Additional Fascia Sign, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event Tenant fails to repair or remove the Additional Fascia Sign, Landlord shall have the right to repair or remove the Additional Fascia Sign, as the case may be, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an additional charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred by Landlord as a coordination fee, and upon any such removal Landlord shall have the right to dispose of the same in any manner Landlord so desires without any liability to Tenant therefor. TENANT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LANDLORD HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIENS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES) INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY LANDLORD AND EXISTING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR OR REMOVAL OF THE ADDITIONAL FASCIA SIGN, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 12(c) by providing written notice of termination to Tenant if, at any time, Tenant (1) assigns this Lease other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, (2) subleases more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the Premises other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, or (3) suffers an event of default of any term or condition of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods. In the event Landlord terminates Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 12(c) as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall remove the Additional Fascia Sign from the Building and repair any damage to the Building caused by the installation, maintenance and/or removal thereof within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s written notice of termination, and, in the event Tenant fails to timely remove the Additional Fascia Sign and/or repair such damage, Landlord shall have the right to do the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an additional charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred by Landlord as a coordination fee (and Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned the Additional Fascia Sign and Landlord shall have the right to dispose of the Additional Fascia Sign in any manner Landlord shall choose in its sole discretion without any liability whatsoever to Tenant with respect thereto). In no event does Landlord make any representation or warranty to Tenant that the Additional Fascia Sign shall be permitted under the Applicable Rules and Restrictions and, to the extent the Additional Fascia Sign

 

11


  is not permitted by the Applicable Rules and Restrictions, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Second Amendment shall remain in full force and effect despite Tenant not being permitted to install such Additional Fascia Sign. Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost and expense, to obtain any necessary approvals or permits from the applicable governmental authorities for the purposes of installing and maintaining such Additional Fascia Sign (the “Additional Fascia Sign Approvals”); provided, however, at Landlord’s option it can apply for such Additional Fascia Sign Approvals on Tenant’s behalf, at Tenant’s cost and expense. Promptly following obtaining such Additional Fascia Sign Approvals (and in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days following obtaining such Additional Fascia Sign Approvals), Tenant shall install such Additional Fascia Sign in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 12(c). In no event shall Landlord be required to remove any existing fascia sign or other signage present existing in order to accommodate any approvals required by the Applicable Rules and Restrictions affecting the Building for the Additional Fascia Sign. The terms and provisions of this Paragraph 12(c) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. As consideration for Tenant’s right to install and maintain the Additional Fascia Sign, commencing on the date that the Additional Fascia Sign Approvals are obtained and the Additional Fascia Sign has been installed and continuing thereafter for the remainder of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord $6,500.00 per month (the “Additional Fascia Sign Rent”), with such Additional Fascia Sign Rent being payable in advance on the first day of the month in the same manner and time as Tenant is obligated to pay Basic Annual Rent (provided, however, any abatement of the Basic Annual Rent shall not apply with respect to the Additional Fascia Sign Rent). The Additional Fascia Sign Rent is in addition to the Fascia Sign Rent payable under Paragraph 19(ff) of the Original Lease.

 

  (d)

One Almaden Fascia Sign. Provided that all Signage Conditions are satisfied, then, subject to all Applicable Rules and Restrictions, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right throughout the Lease Term to install one sign on the fascia of the One Almaden Building (“One Almaden Sign”) provided that Landlord, acting reasonably, approves the One Almaden Sign (including all structural engineering and aesthetic aspects thereof) and the exact location where the same is to be installed. Tenant hereby acknowledges and understands that in no event is Landlord representing or guarantying that any such One Almaden Sign is permitted under Applicable Rules and Restrictions and, in the event the Applicable Rules and Restrictions do not permit any such One Almaden Sign, then this Second Amendment shall continue in full force and effect except that this Paragraph 12(d) shall be deemed null and void. The engineering, manufacture, installation, maintenance and removal of, and the procurement of all required approvals for, the One Almaden Sign shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord hereby approves the location of the One Almaden Sign shown in Exhibit E attached hereto and the size, type and design of the One Almaden Sign shown on Exhibit E attached hereto. The installation of the One Almaden Sign shall be in compliance with all Applicable Rules and Restrictions. Prior to the manufacturing or installing the One Almaden Sign, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or, except as expressly provided herein, conditioned, (i) a report from a structural engineer reasonably acceptable to Landlord providing that (A) the One Almaden Building can adequately support the installation of the One Almaden Sign, and (B) the One Almaden Sign can and will be installed in a manner that will not damage, or otherwise affect or diminish the structural integrity of, the One Almaden Building, and (ii) a detailed drawing indicating the size, layout, design, configuration, lettering and/or graphics and color of the proposed One Almaden Sign, together with the proposed location where the One Almaden Sign is to be installed. In the event Landlord approves the structural report, the One Almaden Sign and the location, Landlord shall evidence such approval in writing. Tenant shall install,

 

12


  repair, maintain, and remove the One Almaden Sign with contractors reasonably approved by Landlord. Any such contractors shall satisfy Landlord’s insurance and indemnification requirements prior to performing any work. Tenant agrees that the installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the One Almaden Sign shall be at Tenant’s sole risk. Tenant agrees to maintain the One Almaden Sign in good condition and repair and, prior to the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession under this Lease, Tenant shall remove the One Almaden Sign and restore the One Almaden Building to the condition immediately prior to the installation of the One Almaden Sign, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event Tenant fails to repair or remove the One Almaden Sign, Landlord shall have the right to repair or remove the One Almaden Sign, as the case may be, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an additional charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred by Landlord as a coordination fee, and upon any such removal Landlord shall have the right to dispose of the same in any manner Landlord so desires without any liability to Tenant therefor. TENANT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LANDLORD HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIENS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES) INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY LANDLORD AND EXISTING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR OR REMOVAL OF THE ONE ALMADEN SIGN, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 12(d) by providing written notice of termination to Tenant if, at any time, Tenant (1) assigns this Lease other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, (2) subleases more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the Premises other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, or (3) suffers an event of default of any term or condition of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods. In the event Landlord terminates Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 12(d) as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall remove the One Almaden Sign from the One Almaden Building and repair any damage to the One Almaden Building caused by the installation, maintenance and/or removal thereof within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s written notice of termination, and, in the event Tenant fails to timely remove the One Almaden Sign and/or repair such damage, Landlord shall have the right to do the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an additional charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred by Landlord as a coordination fee (and Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned the One Almaden Sign and Landlord shall have the right to dispose of the One Almaden Sign in any manner Landlord shall choose in its sole discretion without any liability whatsoever to Tenant with respect thereto). In no event does Landlord make any representation or warranty to Tenant that the One Almaden Sign shall be permitted under the Applicable Rules and Restrictions and, to the extent the One Almaden Sign is not permitted by the Applicable Rules and Restrictions, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Second Amendment shall remain in full force and effect despite Tenant not being permitted to install such One Almaden Sign. Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost and expense, to obtain any necessary approvals or permits from the applicable governmental authorities for the purposes of installing and maintaining such One Almaden Sign (the “One Almaden Sign Approvals”); provided, however, at Landlord’s option it can apply for such One Almaden Sign Approvals on Tenant’s behalf, at Tenant’s cost and expense. Promptly following obtaining such One Almaden Sign Approvals (and in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days following obtaining such One Almaden Sign Approvals), Tenant shall install such One Almaden Sign in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 12(d). In no event shall Landlord be required to remove any existing fascia sign or other signage

 

13


  present existing in order to accommodate any approvals required by the Applicable Rules and Restrictions affecting the Building for the One Almaden Sign. The terms and provisions of this Paragraph 12(d) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. As consideration for Tenant’s right to install and maintain the One Almaden Sign, commencing on the date that the One Almaden Sign Approvals are obtained and the One Almaden Sign has been installed and continuing thereafter for the remainder of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord $6,500.00 per month (the “One Almaden Sign Rent”), with such One Almaden Sign Rent being payable in advance on the first day of the month in the same manner and time as Tenant is obligated to pay Basic Annual Rent (provided, however, any abatement of the Basic Annual Rent shall not apply with respect to the One Almaden Sign Rent).

 

  (e)

Right of First Offer to Western Bank Fascia Signage Location. In the event that Western Bank ever relinquishes and removes its signage rights on the fascia of the Building and thereafter Landlord intends to offer to another third party tenant or occupant the right to install fascia signage in the location previously surrendered by Western Bank, then, so long as Tenant is leasing and occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Rentable Area of the Suite 400 Space, Suite 500 Space and Suite 600 Space and provided further that all other Signage Conditions (as defined in Paragraph 19(ff) of the Original Lease) are satisfied, then Landlord shall first offer to Tenant the right to install fascia signage in the location where Western Bank previously had its fascia sign (the “Fascia Sign Offer”). The Fascia Sign Offer shall be upon the terms and conditions that Landlord intends to offer to third parties the right to install such replacement fascia sign (which may include the payment of signage rent and/or the requirement to lease certain space in the Building or Project). Tenant shall be required to accept any such Fascia Sign Offer on the terms set forth therein by providing a written acceptance to Landlord no later than ten (10) business days following receipt of the Fascia Sign Offer. Tenant’s failure to provide a timely acceptance to the Fascia Sign Offer shall forfeit Tenant’s rights to install any fascia signage and shall entitle Landlord to offer any such fascia sign rights to any third party, including on terms that may be less favorable to Landlord than those set forth in the Fascia Sign Offer. Landlord shall only be required to provide Tenant with one Fascia Sign Offer (it being agreed that if Western Bank had more than one sign, that Tenant is only receiving a right of first offer with respect to the first sign that Western Bank surrenders that Landlord intends to replace with the signage of another tenant or occupant). Unless otherwise set forth in the Fascia Sign Offer, any fascia signage of Tenant shall be subject to all Applicable Rules and Restrictions and otherwise subject to all of the terms and conditions of Paragraph 12(c) of this Second Amendment (including, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval as to the aesthetics, locations, size, color and method of attachment of such signage, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Fascia Sign Offer and the terms of Paragraph 12(c), the terms of the Fascia Sign Offer shall prevail.

 

  (f)

Elevator Button Signage. Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval as to the aesthetics, size, color, and specifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant may install elevator button signage on any full floor that Tenant leases. Upon Tenant failing to lease and occupy any particular full floor, Tenant shall remove any previously installed elevator button signage for such floor and pay for the cost to reinstall any replacement elevator buttons required by Landlord.

 

13.

Riser Management Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may require that Tenant utilize Landlord’s building riser management company in connection with any access to or installation of cabling and wiring in the vertical risers for the Building. Tenant shall pay any actual and reasonable costs charged by the riser management company in connection with the installation of Tenant’s cabling and wiring. Landlord, at its option, may reasonably restrict access to the telephone closets of the Project and may exclude Tenant and its contractors from such telephone closets.

 

14


14.

Renewal Option. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option to further extend the Lease Term for an additional period of five (5) years in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes. In the event that tenant elects to exercise the renewal option, it shall be required to exercise it for the entirety of the Premises then being leased by Tenant (i.e., it cannot exercise the renewal option for only a portion of the Premises being leased).

 

15.

Right of First Offer. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first offer to certain space in the Project as more particularly described in Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes.

 

16.

No Preferential Rights or Options. Except for (i) the renewal option set forth in Paragraph 14 and Exhibit C of this Second Amendment and (ii) the right of first offer set forth in Paragraph 15 and Exhibit D of this Second Amendment, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree that Tenant has no preferential rights or options under the Lease, as herein amended, such as any rights of renewal, expansion, reduction, refusal, offer, purchase, termination, relocation or any other such preferential rights or options, such rights originally set forth in the Lease, including, without limitation, (A) the two renewal options set forth in Addendum One of the Original Lease, (B) the right of first offer set forth in Addendum Two of the Original Lease, and (C) the cancellation option set forth in Addendum Three of the Original Lease, being hereby null and void in their entirety and of no further force or effect.

 

17.

Relocation. The parties hereby agree that Paragraph 15 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and of no further force or effect.

 

18.

Subordination. During the thirty (30) day period following the Effective Date of this Second Amendment, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and provide to Tenant a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) in substantially the form of the agreement used by the lender holding the existing mortgage encumbering the Building (the “Lender”); provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be in default under the Lease (as amended by this Second Amendment), and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to terminate the Lease or this Second Amendment, if Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with such SNDA. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any actual and reasonable costs, including attorneys fees, that Landlord incurs in seeking to obtain an SNDA for Tenant.

 

19.

Alterations and Improvements. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, any alterations or improvements existing in the Premises as of the Effective Date do not have to be removed and restored at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease; provided, however, Tenant shall be required to remove any telephone/data cabling and wiring installed in the Premises and repair any damage arising from such removal. With respect to the Tenant Improvements being constructed pursuant to Exhibit B attached hereto, at the time that Landlord approves the Final Plans in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B, Landlord shall advise Tenant which, if any, portions of such Tenant Improvements Tenant shall be required to remove and restore at the expiration of the Lease Term; provided, however, in all cases Tenant shall be required to remove any telephone/data cabling and wiring installed in the Premises and repair any damage arising from such removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, in no event shall Tenant be required to restore any multi-tenant corridors existing in the Suite 900 Space as of the Effective Date hereof.

 

15


20.

Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each warrant that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent other than CBRE, Inc., representing Tenant, and Cushman & Wakefield U.S., Inc., representing Landlord (collectively, the “Broker”) in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Second Amendment, and Landlord and Tenant each agree to indemnify the other and hold the other harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, or liability for commissions or other compensations or charges claimed by any broker or agent, other than the Broker, who claim to have represented the indemnifying party with respect to this Second Amendment or otherwise claim a commission with respect to this Second Amendment due to their dealings with the indemnifying party.

 

21.

OFAC. Tenant certifies, represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) it is not acting and will not act, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by any Executive Order or the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person”, or other banned or blocked person, entity, nation or transaction pursuant to any law, order, rule, or regulation that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control; and (ii) it is not engaged in this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity or nation. Tenant hereby agrees to defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its designated property management company, and their respective partners, members, affiliates and subsidiaries, and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, servants, partners, representatives, insurers and agents from and against any and all claims or damages arising from or related to any such breach of the foregoing certifications, representations, warranties and covenants.

 

22.

CASp Disclosure. In accordance with California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord makes the following disclosure to Tenant:

As of the Effective Date, neither the Building nor the Premises has undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). A CASp can inspect the Premises and determine whether the Premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the Premises, Landlord may not prohibit Tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the Premises for the occupancy of Tenant, if requested by Tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises.

Except as otherwise expressly agreed upon in writing by Landlord, neither Landlord nor any Landlord Affiliate shall have any obligation for the payment of the CASp fee or the cost of making repairs pursuant thereto, nor shall Landlord or any Landlord Affiliate have any liability to Tenant arising out of or related to the fact that neither the Building nor the Premises has been inspected by a CASp, and Tenant waives all such liability and acknowledges that Tenant shall have no recourse against Landlord or the Project as a result of or in connection therewith.

 

23.

Miscellaneous. With the exception of those terms and conditions specifically modified and amended herein, the herein referenced Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with all its terms and conditions. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Second Amendment and the terms and provisions of the Lease, the terms and provisions of this Second Amendment shall supersede and control.

24.

Counterparts/Facsimiles. This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one agreement. To facilitate execution of this Second Amendment, the parties may execute and exchange telefaxed or e-mailed counterparts of the signature pages and such counterparts shall serve as originals.

Work Letter

THIS WORK LETTER is attached as Exhibit B to the Second Amendment to Office Lease between KBSIII ALMADEN FINANCIAL PLAZA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Landlord, and ZOOM VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as Tenant, and constitutes the further agreement between Landlord and Tenant as follows:

(a)    Tenant Improvements; Landlords Construction Allowance. The leasehold improvements to be constructed by Tenant (the “Tenant Improvements”), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (except for the Landlord’s Construction Allowance, as specified in Paragraph 7 of this Second Amendment), shall be constructed in accordance with the Final Plans to be submitted by Tenant and reviewed and approved by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph (b) of this Exhibit B.

Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or to pay for the construction of the Tenant Improvements. However, Landlord agrees to contribute toward the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements the cash sum of up to the Landlord’s Construction Allowance (as defined in Paragraph 7 of this Second Amendment). Notwithstanding anything in this Second Amendment or in this Work Letter to the contrary, except as provided in the last sentence of Paragraph 7, Landlord’s Construction Allowance shall be used only for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and if construction of the Tenant Improvements is not completed by the applicable Construction Termination Date (as defined below), then Landlord’s obligation to provide the unused portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the applicable Construction Termination Date shall terminate and become null and void, and Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights in and to said unused portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance. The “Construction Termination Dates” shall be as follows: (i) with respect to the portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance attributable to the Suite 400 Space, the Construction Termination Date shall be deemed to be February 28, 2021, (ii) with respect to the portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance attributable to the Suite 500 Space, the Construction Termination Date shall be deemed to be February 28, 2023, (iii) with respect to the portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance attributable to the Suite 600 Space, the Construction Termination Date shall be deemed to be July 31, 2020, and (iv) with respect to the portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance attributable to the Suite 900 Space, the Construction Termination Date shall be deemed to be December 31, 2019. The Landlord’s Construction Allowance may be used to pay any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements and any work related to the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises. The construction costs that may be reimbursed from the Landlord’s Construction Allowance shall include the following: “hard costs” of the Tenant Improvements including costs of labor, equipment, supplies and materials furnished for construction of the Tenant Improvements; governmental fees and charges for required permits, plan checks, and inspections for the Tenant Improvements; Tenant’s project management costs, charges of Tenant’s design professionals; and charges of Landlord’s design professionals for review of plans and monitoring of construction or installation of the Tenant Improvements. Except as otherwise provided herein, no other costs, fees or expenses of the Tenant Improvements shall be reimbursable out of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance.

Landlord’s payment of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance, or such portion thereof as Tenant may be entitled to, shall be made within thirty (30) days after each and all of the following conditions shall have been satisfied (it being agreed that the disbursement shall be made in phases based on Substantial Completion of each of the particular suites): (i) the Tenant Improvements shall have been Substantially Completed in accordance with the Final Plans (as hereinafter defined); (ii) Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord satisfactory evidence that all mechanics’ lien rights of all contractors, suppliers, subcontractors, or materialmen furnishing labor, supplies or materials in the construction or installation of the Tenant Improvements have been unconditionally waived, released, or extinguished; (iii) Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord paid receipts or other written evidence reasonably satisfactorily substantiating the actual amount of the construction costs of the Tenant Improvements; (iv) Tenant shall have delivered to

 

B-1


Landlord a final certificate of occupancy, if required, for the Premises; and (v) Tenant shall not then be in default of any of the provisions of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period (in which event all such disbursements shall be suspended until such default is fully cured). The Landlord’s Construction Allowance shall be disbursed as each of the phases of the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Completed (e.g., the Landlord’s Construction Allowance with respect to the Suite 600 Space shall be disbursed following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements to the Suite 600 Space and satisfaction of the disbursement requirements above). If the actual cost of the Tenant Improvements is less than the Landlord’s Construction Allowance, then, except as set forth in Paragraph (g) below, Tenant shall not receive any credit whatsoever for the difference between the actual cost of the Tenant Improvements and Landlord’s Construction Allowance. In the event any portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance remains outstanding and has not otherwise lapsed or expired and Landlord sells the Project to an unaffiliated third party entity, then, as of the closing of any such sale, Landlord shall either (i) enter into a mutually agreeable amendment to the Lease in order to provide Tenant with an offset right to the extent Landlord thereafter fails to disburse any such remaining portion of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance following Tenant’s satisfaction of all of the disbursement conditions or (ii) agree to escrow the then remaining balance of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance with a title or escrow company reasonably selected by Landlord pursuant to an escrow agreement that is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Work Letter and Second Amendment (i.e., relating to disbursement conditions and expiration of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance as of the respective Construction Termination Date, except as set forth in Paragraph (g) below).

(b)    Preparation and Review of Plans for Tenant Improvements. Tenant has retained a space planner (the “Space Planner”), and the Space Planner has prepared (or will prepare) certain plans, drawings and specifications (the “Temporary Plans”) for the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises to be installed in the Premises by a general contractor selected by Tenant pursuant to this Work Letter. Tenant shall deliver to Space Planner within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Second Amendment, all necessary information required by the Space Planner to complete the Temporary Plans with respect to the Suite 600 Space. Tenant understands that the Tenant Improvements are to be completed in phases with respect to the Suite 400 Space, Suite 500 Space, Suite 600 Space and Suite 900 Space. Except with respect to the Movable Amounts (as defined below), Tenant shall only be permitted to apply the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to each floor of the Premises so to such floor (i.e., Tenant cannot take a portion of the allowance allocable to the Suite 600 Space and apply it to improvements for the Suite 400 Space). As used herein, the term “Movable Amounts” means (i) up to $875,700.00 out of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the Suite 600 Space can be allocated to other suites of the Premises and (ii) up to $199,365.00 out of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the Suite 500 Space can be allocated to other suites of the Premises. The plan approval process set forth in this Paragraph (b) shall be applicable with respect to each phase of construction in each of the suites of the Premises. Landlord shall have ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the proposed Temporary Plans to review the same and notify Tenant in writing of any comments or required changes, or to otherwise give its approval or disapproval of such proposed Temporary Plans. If Landlord fails to give written comments to or approve the Temporary Plans within such ten (10) business day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected the Temporary Plans as submitted. Tenant shall have ten (10) business days following its receipt of Landlord’s comments and objections to redraw the proposed Temporary Plans in compliance with Landlord’s request and to resubmit the same for Landlord’s final review and approval or comment within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of such revised plans. Such process shall be repeated twice and if at such time final approval by Landlord of the proposed Temporary Plans has not been obtained, then Landlord shall complete such Temporary Plans, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to reflect Landlord’s objections or comments. Once Landlord has approved the Temporary Plans, the approved Temporary Plans shall be thereafter known as the “Final Plans”. The Final Plans shall include the complete and final layout, plans and specifications for the Premises showing all doors, light fixtures, electrical outlets, telephone outlets, wall coverings, plumbing improvements (if any), data systems wiring, floor coverings, wall coverings, painting, any other improvements to the Premises beyond the shell and core improvements

 

B-2


provided by Landlord and any demolition of existing improvements in the Premises. The improvements shown in the Final Plans shall (i) utilize Landlord’s building standard materials and methods of construction unless otherwise expressly set forth in the Final Plans, (ii) be compatible with the shell and core improvements and the design, construction and equipment of the Premises, and (iii) comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, codes and ordinances. Tenant, using the Space Planner, shall prepare or cause to be prepared and submitted the Final Plans, concurrently, and in each case by receipted courier or delivery service, to Landlord’s construction representative (“Landlords Construction Representative”), and Landlord’s offices for Landlord’s review and approval, which shall be consistent with the description of the Tenant Improvements set forth in the Temporary Plans.

Each set of proposed Final Plans furnished by Tenant shall include at least two (2) sets of prints. The Final Plans shall be compatible with the design, construction, and equipment of the Building, and shall be capable of logical measurement and construction. Unless Landlord shall otherwise agree in writing, the Final Plans shall be signed/stamped by the Space Planner, and shall include (to the extent relevant or applicable) such additional plans reasonably requested by Landlord related to the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, any and all additional plans related to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises, or as may be required by local city ordinance or building code.

Tenant shall submit all Final Plans concurrently to Landlord’s construction representative and offices, as designated above, for Landlord’s review and approval. Landlord shall have ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the proposed Final Plans to review the same and notify Tenant in writing of any comments or required changes, or to otherwise give its approval or disapproval of such proposed Final Plans. If Landlord fails to give written comments to or approve the Final Plans within such ten (10) business day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected the Final Plans as submitted. Tenant shall have ten (10) business days following its receipt of Landlord’s comments and objections to redraw the proposed Final Plans in compliance with Landlord’s request and to resubmit the same for Landlord’s final review and approval or comment within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of such revised plans. Such process shall be repeated as necessary until final approval by Landlord of the proposed Final Plans has been obtained. Landlord may at any time by written notice given in accordance with the notice provisions of the Lease change the name and/or address of the designated Landlord’s construction representative to receive plans delivered by Tenant to Landlord. In the event that Tenant disagrees with any of the changes to the proposed Final Plans required by Landlord, then Landlord and Tenant shall consult with respect thereto and each party shall use all reasonable efforts to promptly resolve any disputed elements of such proposed Final Plans. If such Final Plans are not resolved by Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall accept Landlord’s final changes to the proposed Final Plans. For purposes hereof, “business days” shall be all calendar days except Saturdays and Sundays and holidays observed by national banks in the State in which the Premises are situated.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph (b), under no circumstances whatsoever shall (i) any combustible materials be utilized above finished ceiling or in any concealed space, (ii) any structural load, temporary or permanent, be placed or exerted on any part of the Building without the prior written approval of Landlord, or (iii) any holes be cut or drilled in any part of the roof or other portion of the Building shell without the prior written approval of Landlord.

In the event that Tenant proposes any changes to the Final Plans (or any portion thereof) after the same have been approved by Landlord, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such changes, provided the changes do not, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, adversely affect the Building structure, systems, or equipment, or the external appearance of the Premises.

As soon as the Final Plans (or a portion thereof sufficient to permit commencement of construction or installation of the Tenant Improvements, if Tenant elects to proceed with a “fast track” construction) are mutually agreed upon, Tenant shall use diligent efforts to obtain all required permits, authorizations, and licenses from appropriate governmental authorities for construction of the Tenant Improvements (or such portion thereof, as applicable). Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining any business or other license or permit required for the conduct of its business at the Premises.

(c)    Construction of the Tenant Improvements. Construction or installation of the Tenant Improvements shall be performed by a licensed general contractor or contractors selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Tenants Contractor,” whether one or more), pursuant to a written construction contract negotiated and entered into by and between the Tenant’s Contractor and Tenant and approved by Landlord. Each such contract shall (i) obligate Tenant’s Contractor to comply with all reasonable rules and regulations of Landlord relating to construction activities in the Building, (ii) name Landlord as an additional indemnitee under the provisions of the contract whereby the Tenant’s Contractor holds Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses arising out of or resulting from the performance of such work, (iii) name Landlord as a beneficiary of (and a party entitled to enforce) all of the warranties of the Tenant’s Contractor with respect to the work performed thereunder and the obligation of the Tenant’s Contractor to replace defective materials and correct defective workmanship for a period of not less than one (1) year following final completion of the work under such contract, (iv) evidence the agreement of the Tenant’s Contractor that the provisions of the Lease shall control over the provisions of the contract with respect to distribution or use of insurance proceeds, in the event of a casualty during construction, and (v) evidence the waiver and release by the Tenant’s Contractor of any lien or right to assert a lien on all or any portion of the fee estate of Landlord in and to the Building as a result of the work performed or to be performed thereunder (and obligating the Tenant’s Contractor to include a substantially similar release and waiver provision in all subcontracts and purchase orders entered under or pursuant to the contract). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, union labor shall not be required to be used for construction of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, Landlord shall be permitted to withhold its consent to a contractor proposed to be utilized by Tenant to the extent such contractor would create a labor dispute at the Building or Project that could impair or affect the Landlord’s ability to operate the Building or otherwise provide the services it is required to provide to its tenants. In the event there is any labor dispute as a result of Tenant’s contractor and such labor dispute is impairing or affecting Landlord’s ability to operate the Building or otherwise provide the services it is required to provide to its tenants, then Tenant shall immediately take such actions as may be required in order to cause such labor dispute to cease. Tenant and its contractors shall be required to comply with the constructions rules and regulations set forth Exhibit B-1 attached hereto (and the Tenant Improvement shall be required to incorporate all design elements set forth in such Exhibit B-1).

Tenant acknowledges and understands that all roof penetrations involved in the construction of the Tenant Improvements must be performed by the Landlord’s Building roofing contractor. All costs, fees and expenses incurred with such contractor in performing such work shall be a cost of the Tenant Improvements (which such cost may be payable out of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance), in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit B. Tenant or Tenant’s Contractor shall be responsible for all water, gas, electricity, sewer or other utilities used or consumed at the Premises during the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

Tenant specifically agrees to carry, or cause the Tenant’s Contractor to carry, during all such times as the Tenant’s work is being performed, (a) builder’s risk completed value insurance on the Tenant Improvements, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements, (b) a policy of insurance covering commercial general liability, in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage per occurrence (and combined single limit coverage of $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate), and automobile liability coverage (including owned, non-owned and hired vehicles) in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit (each person, each accident), and endorsed to show Landlord as an additional insured, and (c) workers’ compensation insurance as required by law, endorsed to show a waiver of subrogation by the insurer to any claim the Tenant’s Contractor may have against Landlord. Tenant shall not commence construction of the Tenant Improvements until Landlord has issued to Tenant a written authorization to proceed with construction after Tenant has delivered to Landlord’s construction

All of the construction work shall be the responsibility of and supervised by Tenant.

(d)    Requirements for Tenants Work. All of Tenant’s construction with respect to the Premises shall be performed in substantial compliance with this Exhibit B and the Final Plans therefor previously approved in writing by Landlord (and any changes thereto approved by Landlord as herein provided), and in a good and workmanlike manner, utilizing only new materials. All such work shall be performed by Tenant in strict compliance with all applicable building codes, regulations and all other legal requirements. All materials utilized in the construction of Tenant’s work must be confined to within the Premises. All trash and construction debris not located wholly within the Premises must be removed each day from the Project at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. Landlord shall have the right at all times to monitor the work for compliance with the requirements of this Exhibit B. If Landlord reasonably determines that any such requirements are not being strictly complied with, Landlord may immediately require the cessation of all work being performed in or around the Premises or the Project until such time as Landlord is reasonably satisfied that the applicable requirements will be observed. Any approval given by Landlord with respect to Tenant’s construction or the Temporary Plans or Final Plans therefor, and/or any monitoring of Tenant’s work by Landlord, shall not make Landlord liable or responsible in any way for the condition, quality or function of such matters or constitute any undertaking, warranty or representation by Landlord with respect to any of such matters.

(e)    No Liens; Indemnification. Tenant shall have no authority to place any lien upon the Premises, or the Building, or any portion thereof or interest therein, nor shall Tenant have any authority in any way to bind Landlord, and any attempt to do so shall be void and of no effect. If, because of any act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant’s Contractor, or any subcontractors or materialmen, any lien, affidavit, charge or order for the payment of money shall be filed against Landlord, the Premises, the Building, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether or not such lien, affidavit, charge or order is valid or enforceable, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, bonding or otherwise no later than fifteen (15) days after notice to Tenant of the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the foreclosure thereof. With respect to the contract for labor or materials for construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant acts as principal and not as the agent of Landlord. Landlord expressly disclaims liability for the cost of labor performed for or supplies or materials furnished to Tenant. Landlord may post one or more “notices of non-responsibility” for Tenant’s work on the Building. No contractor of Tenant is intended to be a third-party beneficiary with respect to the Landlord’s Construction Allowance, or the agreement of Landlord to make such Landlord’s Construction Allowance available for payment of or reimbursement for the costs of construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, the Premises and the Project, harmless from all claims (including all reasonable costs and expenses of defending against such claims) arising from any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, materialmen, architects, designers, surveyors, engineers, consultants, laborers, or invitees, or arising from any bodily injury or property damage occurring incident to any of the work to be performed by Tenant or its contractors or subcontractors with respect to the Premises, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Any Default by Tenant under this Exhibit B shall constitute a default by Tenant under the Lease for all purposes. Additionally, any approval given by Landlord with respect to the Tenant Improvements or the Final Plans and/or any monitoring of the construction of the Tenant Improvements by Landlord shall not make Landlord liable or responsible in any way for the condition, quality or function of such matters or constitute any undertaking, warranty or representation by Landlord with respect to any such matters.

(f)    Substantial Completion. “Substantial Completion” (or any grammatical variant thereof) of construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be defined as the later of (i) the date upon which Landlord’s Construction Representative (or other consultant engaged by Landlord) determines that the Tenant Improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the Final Plans, and (ii) the date upon which a temporary certificate of occupancy (or its equivalent) is issued for the Premises by the appropriate governmental authority. After the completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of improvements performed on the Premises. The failure of Tenant to take possession of or to occupy the Premises shall not serve to relieve Tenant of obligations arising on the Commencement Date or delay the payment of Rent by Tenant.

(g)    Excess Allowance.

(i)    Suite 500 Space. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the total cost of the Tenant Improvements with respect to the Suite 500 Space are less than the total amount of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to such Suite 500 Space (the difference between the cost of the Tenant Improvements to the Suite 500 Space and the cost of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the Suite 500 Space being referred to herein as the “Excess Suite 500 Allowance”), then Landlord agrees that, upon Tenant’s written request and subject to the further terms of this Paragraph (g)(i), Tenant shall have the right to have up to (but not to exceed) $264,585.00 out of such Excess Suite 500 Allowance disbursed to Tenant as a reimbursement of the actual out-of-pocket expenses paid by Tenant to third parties in connection with Tenant’s move to the Premises, including space planning and design, built-in and movable furniture, signage costs and the installation of Tenant’s wiring and cabling in the Suite 500 Space and Suite 600 Space (the “Moving Reimbursement”); provided, however, in no event shall the total amount advanced by Landlord to Tenant for the Moving Reimbursement exceed the lesser of the amount of the Excess Suite 500 Allowance or $264,585.00. In the event Tenant desires any such reimbursement, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the amounts that Tenant wants reimbursed (and such request shall include actual copies of paid invoices reflecting amounts Tenant desires to have reimbursed) by the Construction Termination Date applicable to the Suite 500 Space, and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Tenant fails to so notify Landlord in writing of such amounts Tenant desires to have reimbursed by the Construction Termination Date applicable to the Suite 500 Space, Tenant shall not be entitled to any such reimbursement and all such Excess Suite 500 Allowance shall belong to Landlord and Tenant shall have no rights thereto other than apply such Excess Suite 500 Allowance amounts to the installation of the FANWALL system as contemplated in Paragraph 11 (i.e., if there is any Excess Suite 500 Allowance that has not been utilized as of the Construction Termination Date allocable to the Suite 500 Space, then Tenant can only access such Excess Suite 500 Allowance in order to pay for any costs related to the FANWALL system being installed pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 11).

(ii)    Suite 600 Space. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the total cost of the Tenant Improvements with respect to the Suite 600 Space are less than the total amount of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to such Suite 600 Space (the difference between the cost of the Tenant Improvements to the Suite 600 Space and the cost of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance allocable to the Suite 600 Space being referred to herein as the “Excess Suite 600 Allowance”), then Landlord agrees that, upon Tenant’s written request and subject to the further terms of this Paragraph (g)(ii), Tenant shall have the right to have up to (but not to exceed) $262,710.00 out of such Excess Suite 600 Allowance disbursed to Tenant as a reimbursement of the actual out-of-pocket expenses paid by Tenant to third parties in connection with Tenant’s move to the Premises, including space planning and design, built-in and movable furniture, signage costs and the installation of Tenant’s wiring and cabling in the Suite 500 Space and Suite 600 Space (the “Moving Reimbursement”); provided, however, in no event shall the total amount advanced by Landlord to Tenant for the Moving Reimbursement exceed the lesser of the amount of the Excess Suite 600 Allowance or $262,710.00. In the event Tenant desires any such reimbursement, Tenant

Most demolition and some construction work will require the fire sprinkler valves on that floor to be closed to protect against major property damage in the event a sprinkler head is accidentally bumped and discharged during the process. It will be the Chief Building Engineer’s decision or any other designated on-site Building Engineer to determine when the valves will need to be secured. Designated Construction Superintendent for the project must review (with the on-site Building Engineer) the planned work for the day prior to beginning any work day. The Engineer will make a determination based on this information whether to close the valves. The Contractor may be required to provide an individual assigned as Fire Watch during all times any part of the fire alarm system is disabled, and shall be equipped with a fire extinguisher and a working telephone. The building engineer/property management will make that determination.

All activities which create excessive dust or smoke (e.g. burning or welding) must be coordinated with Building Management and the Building Engineer with 24 hours written notice, and shall be performed prior to 7:30 AM unless otherwise instructed. The Contractor must provide an individual assigned as Fire Watch during all hot work, equipped with a fire extinguisher and a working telephone.

Cleaning of spackling knives, painting equipment, tools and buckets shall only be permitted in the janitor’s closet slop sink. The contractor is responsible for protecting and cleaning the slop sinks and the walls at the closet. Painting the walls within the janitor’s closet may be required at project completion as determined by the Project Manager or Property Manager. The contractor is responsible for any plumbing blockages that occur in the janitor’s closet slop sink or at floor drains utilized by the Contractor over the course of the project. If the Building is required to call a plumber in the event the Contractor fails to address blockages in a timely manner, all charges will be billed back to the Contractor.

The Contractor will not be permitted to use the Building Management’s maintenance tools, vacuum cleaners, ladders or materials.

No materials may be stored or stocked in main lobbies at any time.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in delayed construction schedules. Management reserves the right to shut down any construction project(s) found to be underway without proper authorization per the Lease requirements. A copy of KBS Construction Rules and Regulations is attached, to familiarize designers and contractors with Landlord requirements. To help insure prompt approval, please provide the following:

Copies of all Building Permits required for the project prior to commencement of any construction activities. If the work scope is such that no building permits are required under current San Jose, CA, the General Contractor shall provide our office with a statement, on their letterhead, stating such fact.

Numbered list of contractors and subcontractors to be involved with the project, with the contact names and telephone numbers of key personnel.

Two complete sets of professionally prepared Architectural and MEP drawings. Allow a minimum of 10 working days for Landlord review. The plans are checked for general design concept only. It is the Tenant’s responsibility to comply with all governing codes, and all accepted engineering standards and practices. Note: Some projects may require independent review by the Landlord’s architect.

EXHIBIT C

One Renewal Option at Market

(a)    Provided that as of the time of the giving of the Renewal Notice and the Commencement Date of the Renewal Term (as such terms are defined below), (x) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein or an assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, (y) Tenant or a sublessee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer actually occupies at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Rentable Area of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added to the Premises, and (z) no event of default exists beyond applicable notice and cure periods; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for an additional term of five (5) years (such additional term is hereinafter called the “Renewal Term”) commencing on the day following the expiration of the Lease Term (hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date of the Renewal Term”). Tenant must give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the “Renewal Notice”) of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least nine (9) months, but not more than twelve (12) months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term.

(b)    The Basic Annual Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Renewal Term shall be the Fair Market Rent, as defined and determined pursuant to Paragraph (c), Paragraph (d), and Paragraph (e) below.

(c)    The term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the Basic Annual Rent, expressed as an annual rent per square foot of Rentable Area, which Landlord would have received from leasing the Premises for the Renewal Term to an unaffiliated person which is not then a tenant in the Project, assuming that such space were to be delivered in “as-is” condition, and taking into account the rental which such other tenant would most likely have paid for such premises, including market escalations taking into account the terms of the Lease. Fair Market Rent means only the rent component defined as Basic Annual Rent in the Lease and does not include reimbursements and payments by Tenant to Landlord with respect to operating expenses and other items payable or reimbursable by Tenant under the Lease, but such reimbursement and payments shall be considered in determining the Basic Annual Rent. In addition to its obligation to pay Basic Annual Rent (as determined herein), Tenant shall continue to pay and reimburse Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such operating expenses and other items with respect to the Premises during the Renewal Term. The arbitration process described below shall be limited to the determination of the Basic Annual Rent and shall not affect or otherwise reduce or modify the Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for such operating expenses and other reimbursable items.

(d)    Landlord shall notify Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Rent (which shall be made in Landlord’s sole discretion) for the Renewal Term, and Tenant shall advise Landlord of any objection within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s notice. Failure to respond within the thirty (30) day period shall constitute Tenant’s deemed objection to such Fair Market Rent. If Tenant objects (or is deemed to have objected), Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice (or within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the thirty-day period in the event of a deemed objection). If the parties cannot agree, each acting in good faith but without any obligation to agree, then the arbitration procedure provided below to determine the Fair Market Rent shall be invoked.

(e)    Arbitration to determine the Fair Market Rent shall be in accordance with the Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise required by state law, arbitration shall be conducted in the metropolitan area where the Project is located by a single arbitrator unaffiliated with either party. Each party shall send written notice to the other party and the Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association within ten (10) days after the thirty (30) day negotiating period provided in Paragraph (d), invoking the binding arbitration provisions of this

 

C-1


paragraph. Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the arbitrator their respective proposal of Fair Market Rent. The arbitrator must choose between the Landlord’s proposal and the Tenant’s proposal and may not compromise between the two or select some other amount. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Tenant and by Tenant if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Landlord; and shall be borne equally otherwise. If the arbitrator has not determined the Fair Market Rent as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay one hundred five percent (105%) of the Basic Annual Rent in effect under the Lease as of the end of the Lease Term until the Fair Market Rent is determined as provided herein. Upon such determination, Landlord and Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments to the payments between them.

(f)    The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any appropriate court to enforce the arbitration provisions of this Exhibit C and to enter judgment upon the decision of the arbitrator.

(g)    Except for the Basic Annual Rent as determined above, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term pursuant to this Exhibit C or to any allowances, credits or abatements or any options to expand, contract, terminate, renew or extend the Lease.

(h)    If Tenant does not give the Renewal Notice within the period set forth in Paragraph (a) above, Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the Renewal Notice and the notice of Tenant’s objection under Paragraph (d).

(i)    Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the Renewal Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the Renewal Term in “as-is” condition.

(j)    If the Lease is extended for the Renewal Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term and the other provisions applicable thereto (the “Amendment”); provided, however, the failure of either party to execute such Amendment shall not void or nullify the Renewal Term.

(k)    If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the Renewal Term pursuant to this Exhibit C, the defined term “Lease Term” as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, the Renewal Term except as provided in Paragraph (g) above.

 

C-2


EXHIBIT D

Right of First Offer

(a)    “Offered Space” shall mean any full floor in any building in the Project (it being agreed that Landlord shall only be required to offer to Tenant full floors and Landlord is entitled to lease to third parties any partial floors without being obligated to offer to Tenant such partial floors to Tenant under this Exhibit D).

(b)    Provided that as of the date of the giving of the First Offer Notice, (i) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein or an assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, (ii) Tenant or a sublessee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer actually occupies at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Rentable Area of the Premises originally demised under this Lease and any premises added to the Premises, and (iii) no event of default has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, if at any time during the Lease Term any portion of the Offered Space is vacant and unencumbered by any rights of any third party, then Landlord, before offering such Offered Space to anyone, other than the tenant then occupying such space (or its affiliates), shall offer to Tenant the right to include the Offered Space within the Premises on the same terms and conditions upon which Landlord intends to offer the Offered Space for lease; provided, however, in the event Landlord delivers the First Offer Notice prior to October 31, 2019, then (x) the term of the Lease with respect to the Offered Space leased pursuant to the terms of such Offer Notice shall be coterminous with the Extension Term, (y) the Basic Annual Rent payable with respect to such Offered Space shall be equal to the same amounts (based on per square foot of Rentable Area basis) required to be paid with respect to the Suite 600 Space for the same months during the Lease Term (i.e., the escalations of Basic Annual Rent shall occur at the same time as it is scheduled for the Suite 600 Space), and (z) the total amount of “Landlord’s Construction Allowance” that Landlord shall provide Tenant with respect to such Offered Space shall be equal to the product of (i) One Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars ($125.00), multiplied by (ii) the total number of square feet of Rentable Area contained within such Offered Space, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months remaining in the Extension Term from and after the date Tenant is first obligated to pay Basic Annual Rent with respect to such Offered Space, and the denominator of which is 98. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, the right of first offer granted to Tenant under this Exhibit D shall be subject and subordinate to (i) the rights of all tenants at the Project under existing leases, and (ii) the herein reserved right of Landlord to renew or extend the term of any lease with the tenant then occupying such space (or any of its affiliates), whether pursuant to a renewal or extension option in such lease or otherwise.

(c)    Such offer shall be made by Landlord to Tenant in a written notice (hereinafter called the “First Offer Notice”) which offer shall designate the space being offered and shall specify the terms which Landlord intends to offer with respect to any such Offered Space. Tenant may accept the offer set forth in the First Offer Notice by delivering to Landlord an unconditional acceptance (hereinafter called “Tenants Notice”) of such offer within five (5) business days after delivery by Landlord of the First Offer Notice to Tenant. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of Tenant’s Notice. If Tenant does not accept (or fails to timely accept) an offer made by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit D with respect to the Offered Space designated in the First Offer Notice and execute the Amendment (defined below) within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the First Offer Notice, then, except as set forth in Paragraph (e) below, Landlord shall be under no further obligation with respect to such space identified in the First Offer Notice by reason of this Exhibit D.

(d)    Tenant must accept all Offered Space offered by Landlord at any one time if it desires to accept any of such Offered Space and may not exercise its right with respect to only part of such space.

 

D-1


In addition, if Landlord desires to lease more than just the Offered Space to one tenant, Landlord may offer to Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof all such space which Landlord desires to lease, and Tenant must exercise its rights hereunder with respect to all such space and may not insist on receiving an offer for just the Offered Space.

(e)    If Tenant does not accept (or fails to timely accept) an offer made by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit D with respect to the Offered Space designated in the First Offer Notice, then Landlord shall be under no further obligation with respect to such space by reason of this Exhibit D; provided, however, in the event that Landlord has not leased out the Offered Space and thereafter intends the Offered Space for terms that are materially less favorable to Landlord than those set forth in the First Offer Notice (it being understood and agreed that “materially less favorable” shall mean that the net present value of the material economic terms of the modified transaction is at least ten percent (10%) less than the net present value of the material economic terms set forth in the First Offer Notice), Landlord agrees that Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit D with respect to such Offered Space shall be reinstated and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a First Offer Notice if, as, and to the extent, required under the terms of this Exhibit D. Additionally, if Tenant timely accepts such offer and fails to execute the ROFO Amendment (defined below) within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the First Offer Notice, then, at Landlord’s sole option, Landlord shall be under no further obligation with respect to such space by reason of this Exhibit D.

(f)    In the event that Tenant exercises its rights to any Offered Space pursuant to this Exhibit D, then Landlord shall prepare, and Tenant shall execute, an amendment to the Lease which confirms such expansion of the Premises and the other provisions applicable thereto (the “ROFO Amendment”); provided, however, Landlord’s refusal to execute the ROFO Amendment shall not void or nullify Tenant’s right to lease such Offered Space but Tenant’s refusal to execute the ROFO Amendment may, at Landlord’s option, void the Tenant’s right to lease the Offered Space.

Suite 400 Space. Throughout the Third Amendment Extension Term, Tenant shall continue to pay Additional Rent with respect to the Suite 400 Space in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

 

  (d)

  (e)

3


Costs attributable to the Suite 1150 Space in excess of those Operating Costs incurred in the Base Year and for purposes of performing such calculations: (i) the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the One Almaden Building with respect to the Suite 1150 Space shall be deemed to equal 4.9453% (7,734 rsf / 156,392 rsf), (ii) the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Project with respect to the Suite 1150 Space shall be deemed to equal 1.8586% (7,734 rsf / 416,126 rsf), (iii) the Base Year with respect to the Suite 1150 Space shall be deemed to be the calendar year 2019, and (iv) any references to the “Building” in the Lease shall mean and refer to the One Almaden Building. The cap on Controllable Operating Costs set forth in Paragraph 3(l) of the Original Lease shall apply with respect to the Suite 1150 Space, however, for purposes of calculating such cap, the phrase “first calendar year” as set forth in the third line of Paragraph 3(l) shall be amended to be “2019 calendar year”.

 

7.

Condition of Premises. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant is currently in possession of the Existing Premises and agrees to accept the entirety of the Premises (inclusive of the 1150 Space) from Landlord, in their existing “AS-IS”, “WHERE-IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition, and, except as provided in the Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to refurbish or otherwise improve any portion of the Premises at any time during the Lease Term; provided, however, Landlord hereby agrees to provide to Tenant an allowance equal to $542,000 (the “Third Amendment Allowance”), which shall be utilized for the construction of certain improvements to the Premises (which may include work in the Suite 1150 Space) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the work letter attached as Exhibit B to the Second Amendment. The terms, conditions and provisions regarding the use and disbursement of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance (as defined in Paragraph 7 of the Second Amendment) shall govern with respect to the use and disbursement of the Third Amendment Allowance, except that (i) the Third Amendment Allowance shall be available for use in any portion of the Existing Premises or the Suite 1150 Space, (ii) the “Construction Termination Date” with respect to the Third Amendment Allowance shall be deemed to be February 28, 2023, and (iii) in no event shall any portion of the Third Amendment Allowance be utilized towards a Moving Reimbursement (as such term is defined in Paragraph (g) of the work letter attached as Exhibit B to the Second Amendment).

 

8.

Additional TI Allowance. Provided that the costs to construct the Tenant Improvements (as defined in Exhibit B to the Second Amendment) exceed Landlord’s Construction Allowance (as defined in Paragraph 7 of the Second Amendment) plus the Third Amendment Allowance (i.e., such that Tenant would be required to come out of pocket with respect to such excess costs for the Tenant Improvements), then Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an additional allowance (the “Additional TI Allowance”) of up to $525,000 to be used by Tenant solely towards paying for that portion of the cost of constructing the Tenant Improvements in excess of the aggregate Landlord’s Construction Allowance and Third Amendment Allowance. In the event Tenant desires to utilize any portion of the Additional TI Allowance, then Tenant shall make a one-time request on or before December 31, 2019, indicating in such request the amount of such Additional TI Allowance Tenant desires that Landlord disburse. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that in the event Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that Tenant desires any portion of the Additional TI Allowance, such portion requested by Tenant shall be amortized (at a rate of interest equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) per annum) over the period commencing on the date that such sums were initially advanced or disbursed by Landlord and ending on the expiration of the Third Amendment Extension Term, and the monthly installments of Basic Annual Rent payable by Tenant with respect to the Existing Premises and Suite 1150 Space shall be increased by the monthly amount necessary to so amortize such Additional TI Allowance so disbursed by Landlord. Tenant agrees to execute promptly an amendment to the Lease reflecting the increase in the Basic Annual Rent as described above. In the event Tenant fails to request such Additional TI Allowance by December 31, 2019, then Tenant shall forfeit its right to request such Additional TI Allowance.

9.

Parking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 9(a) of the Second Amendment, the Standard Parking Allocation shall apply with respect to the Suite 1150 Space. As of the Suite 1150 Commencement Date, the parking charges for the Standard Parking Allocation attributable to the Suite 1150 Space are incorporated into the Basic Annual Rent amounts for the Suite 1150 Space reflected in the rent schedule in Paragraph 5(a) above and, as a result, there is no separate charge payable for by Tenant for such Standard Parking Allocation attributable to the Suite 1150 Space; provided, however, in the event the prevailing rate increases after the Effective Date (such incremental increase being the “Increased Rate Amount”) for unreserved parking spaces in the Project, then Tenant shall pay such Increased Rate Amount (as such amount may increase from time to time) as a separate charge (plus any applicable taxes) for each unreserved parking space provided to Tenant in the Standard Parking Allocation attributed to the Suite 1150 Space.

 

10.

Prepaid Rent. Concurrently with the execution of this Third Amendment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of $32,096.10, which shall be applied towards the Basic Annual Rent first becoming due with respect to the Suite 1150 Space.

 

11.

Rooftop Signage. Provided that (x) Zoom Video Communications, Inc. is the Tenant under this Lease or an assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, (y) Zoom Video Communications, Inc. is leasing and actually occupies at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Existing Premises and the Suite 1150 Space, and (z) no event of default has occurred and is continuing beyond applicable notice and cure periods (items (x) – (z) are hereinafter referred to as the “Signage Conditions”), then, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, restrictions, rules and regulations, as well as all applicable covenants, restrictions or deed restrictions affecting the Project (collectively, the “Applicable Rules and Restrictions”), Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, throughout the Lease Term (including the Third Amendment Extension Term, but subject to termination as provided in this Paragraph 11) to install its painted (or, if not painted, such other sign that lies flat on the roof, but in all event subject to Landlord’s review and approval) name and/or logo on the rooftop of the One Almaden Building (the “One Almaden Rooftop Sign”) and the 55 Almaden Building (the “55 Almaden Rooftop Sign,” collectively with the One Almaden Sign, the “Rooftop Signs”) provided that Landlord, acting reasonably, approves the Rooftop Signs (including all structural engineering and aesthetic aspects thereof) and the exact location where the same is to be installed. Tenant hereby acknowledges and understands that in no event is Landlord representing or guarantying that any such Rooftop Signs are permitted under Applicable Rules and Restrictions and, in the event the Applicable Rules and Restrictions do not permit any such Rooftop Signs, then this Third Amendment shall continue in full force and effect except that this Paragraph 11 shall be deemed null and void. The engineering, manufacture, installation, maintenance and removal of, and the procurement of all required approvals for, the Rooftop Signs shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The installation of the Rooftop Signs shall be in compliance with all Applicable Rules and Restrictions. Prior to the manufacturing or installing the Rooftop Signs, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or, except as expressly provided herein, conditioned, a detailed drawing indicating the size, layout, design, configuration, lettering and/or graphics and color of the proposed Rooftop Signs, together with the proposed location where the Rooftop Signs are to be installed. In the event Landlord approves the Rooftop Signs and the location, Landlord shall evidence such approval in writing. Tenant shall install, repair, maintain, and remove the Rooftop Signs with contractors reasonably approved by Landlord and Landlord may require Tenant to utilize Landlord’s roofing contractor in connection with the installation of such Rooftop Signs or otherwise require that such roofing contractor supervise the installation and maintenance of any such Rooftop Sign. In no event shall Tenant impair, void or otherwise adversely affect any rooftop warranty maintained by Landlord with respect to the Building and, if Tenant does impair, void or adversely affect any such warranty, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies that Landlord may have, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless as set forth below. In addition, in no event shall Tenant affect, modify, or

 

5


  relocate any Building system or rooftop equipment installed on the roof of the Building in connection with the installation, repair, maintenance or removal of any such Rooftop Signs. Tenant’s contractors shall satisfy Landlord’s insurance and indemnification requirements prior to performing any work. Tenant agrees that the installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the Rooftop Signs shall be at Tenant’s sole risk. Tenant agrees to maintain the Rooftop Signs in good condition and repair and, prior to the expiration of the Lease Term (as extended by the Third Amendment Extension Term) or the earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession under this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Signs and restore the Building to the condition immediately prior to the installation of the Rooftop Signs, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event Tenant fails to repair or remove the Rooftop Signs, Landlord shall have the right to repair or remove the Rooftop Signs, as the case may be, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an additional charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred by Landlord as a coordination fee, and upon any such removal Landlord shall have the right to dispose of the same in any manner Landlord so desires without any liability to Tenant therefor. TENANT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LANDLORD HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIENS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES) INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY LANDLORD AND EXISTING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR OR REMOVAL OF THE ROOFTOP SIGNS (INCLUDING COSTS AND EXPENSES ARISING FROM ANY IMPAIRMENT OR ADVERSE AFFECT TO ANY ROOF WARRANTY MAINTAINED BY LANDLORD), except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 11 by providing written notice of termination to Tenant if, at any time, Tenant (1) assigns this Lease other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, (2) subleases more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the Existing Premises (including the Suite 1150 Space) other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, or (3) suffers an event of default of any term or condition of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods. In the event Landlord terminates Tenant’s rights under this Paragraph 11 as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Signs from the Building and repair any damage to the Building caused by the installation, maintenance and/or removal thereof within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s written notice of termination, and, in the event Tenant fails to timely remove the Rooftop Signs and/or repair such damage, Landlord shall have the right to do the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an additional charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred by Landlord as a coordination fee (and Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned the Rooftop Signs and Landlord shall have the right to dispose of the Rooftop Signs in any manner Landlord shall choose in its sole discretion without any liability whatsoever to Tenant with respect thereto). In no event does Landlord make any representation or warranty to Tenant that the Rooftop Signs shall be permitted under the Applicable Rules and Restrictions and, to the extent the Rooftop Signs are not permitted by the Applicable Rules and Restrictions, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Third Amendment shall remain in full force and effect despite Tenant not being permitted to install such Rooftop Signs. Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost and expense, to obtain any necessary approvals or permits from the applicable governmental authorities for the purposes of installing and maintaining such Rooftop Signs (the “Rooftop Signs Approvals”); provided, however, at Landlord’s option it can apply for such Rooftop Signs Approvals on Tenant’s behalf, at Tenant’s cost and expense. In no event shall Landlord be required to remove any existing sign present in order to accommodate any approvals required by the Applicable Rules and Restrictions affecting the Building for the Rooftop Signs. The terms and provisions of this Paragraph 11 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. As consideration for Tenant’s right to install and maintain the Rooftop Signs, commencing on the date that the Rooftop Signs Approvals are obtained and the Rooftop Signs have been installed and continuing thereafter for the remainder of the Lease

 

6


  Term or earlier removal of the One Almaden Rooftop Sign and/or 55 Almaden Rooftop Sign, Tenant shall pay to Landlord $2,000.00 per month for the One Almaden Rooftop Sign and an additional $2,000.00 per month for the 55 Almaden Rooftop Sign (the “Rooftop Sign Rent”), with such Rooftop Sign Rent being payable in advance on the first day of the month in the same manner and time as Tenant is obligated to pay Basic Annual Rent (provided, however, any abatement of the Basic Annual Rent shall not apply with respect to the Rooftop Sign Rent). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Tenant has failed to obtain the Rooftop Sign Approvals and installed the Rooftop Signs by August 31, 2020 (the “Outside Date”), then Tenant’s rights to install the Rooftop Signs shall be waived and this Paragraph 11 shall thereafter be null and void and of no further force or effect. If Tenant has installed only one of the Rooftop Signs by the Outside Date, then Tenant shall forfeit its rights to install the other Rooftop Sign that has not yet been installed. In addition, if Tenant has installed one or both of the Rooftop Signs and thereafter elects to remove one or both of such Rooftop Signs and cease paying the applicable Rooftop Sign Rent, then Tenant shall be deemed to forfeit its rights to install a Rooftop Sign on the building(s) where Tenant removed its Rooftop Sign (however, if Tenant removes its Rooftop Sign but continues to pay the Rooftop Sign Rent with respect to such building, then Tenant shall maintain its right to install its Rooftop Sign for so long as Tenant continues to pay the Rooftop Sign Rent, but in all events such rights shall expire on the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease). Upon Tenant forfeiting or losing its rights to install any such Rooftop Sign, then Landlord shall have the right to lease to any third party the right to install a Rooftop Sign on the building(s) where Tenant forfeited its rights.

 

12.

Signage Rights. Provided that (x) Zoom Video Communications, Inc. is the Tenant under this Lease or an assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, (y) Zoom Video Communications, Inc. is leasing and actually occupies all of the Suite 900 Space and Suite 1150 Space, and (z) no event of default has occurred and is continuing beyond applicable notice and cure period, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and subject to the further provisions of this paragraph, shall have the right to install and maintain signage on the One Almaden Building’s existing monument sign in a location designated by Landlord (“Tenant’s Sign”) provided that there exists availability on such existing One Almaden Building monument sign and Landlord has the right to include the name of another tenant on such One Almaden Building monument sign. If, at the time of the execution of this Lease, there is no availability on the existing One Almaden Building monument sign or Landlord is not permitted to include other tenant’s names on such monument sign, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to place Tenant’s name on the existing One Almaden Building monument sign as soon as such space becomes available, and Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have priority over other tenants executing leases after the Effective Date of this Third Amendment in terms of rights to such monument signage (but Tenant’s rights shall be subject to existing rights of existing tenants). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Tenant’s Sign shall be subject to and in compliance with all Applicable Rules and Restrictions. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of obtaining and maintaining any necessary permits for Tenant’s Sign and any sign licenses related thereto, and for the cost and expense of maintenance and utilities for Tenant’s Sign (including all metered electrical usage). Additionally, Tenant shall, in a first class manner, maintain and repair any damage to Tenant’s Sign. The style, type, color, size, and design of Tenant’s Sign shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or Tenant otherwise ceasing to lease and occupy the entirety of the Suite 900 Space and Suite 1150 Space, Tenant shall pay all costs associated with the removal of Tenant’s Sign. All rights and remedies of Landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord’s self-help remedies) shall apply in the event Tenant fails to perform Tenant’s obligations hereunder with respect to Tenant’s Sign, and, in the event Landlord performs any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand as additional rental hereunder, the cost incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an additional charge of ten percent (10%) of such cost to cover overhead. Tenant shall protect,

 

7


  defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses of every kind and nature (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord and which arise out of any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant in connection with Tenant’s Signage. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

13.

Must Take Space. Tenant hereby agrees that in the event the existing tenant (the “Suite 800 Tenant”) in the 55 Almaden fails to timely exercise its option to renew the term of its lease (the “Suite 800 Existing Lease”) which option must be exercised by October 3, 2019, then Tenant shall be obligated to expand in that certain 17,941 square feet of space designated as Suite 800 in the 55 Almaden Building (the “Suite 800 Space”) following the Suite 800 Tenant surrendering the Suite 800 Space to Landlord following the expiration or earlier termination of the Suite 800 Existing Lease. The Suite 800 Space is depicted in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes. Following the date that such Suite 800 Tenant’s existing renewal option lapses, Landlord shall send written notice to Tenant (the “Must Take Notice”) advising Tenant of the same and notifying Tenant that pursuant to this Paragraph 13, the Premises shall be expanded to include the Suite 800 Space. If the Suite 800 Tenant does exercise its renewal option, then this Paragraph 13 shall be null and void and Tenant shall not be obligated to expand into the Suite 800 Space. If Landlord delivers a Must Take Notice to Tenant, then Tenant shall lease the Suite 800 Space on the following terms: (i) the Lease Term for the Suite 800 Space shall be coterminous with the Lease Term for the balance of the Premises, (ii) the Lease Term for the Suite 800 Space shall commence on the date that is ten (10) days following Landlord’s delivery of the Suite 800 Space to Tenant, (iii) the initial Basic Annual Rent rate payable with respect to the Suite 800 Space shall equal $4.45 per square foot of rentable area per month and such rate shall escalate by three percent (3%) on each anniversary of the commencement date with respect to the Suite 800 Space, (iv) the initial three (3) monthly installment of Basic Annual Rent with respect to the Suite 800 Space shall be abated, (v) Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent the Suite 800 Space’s proportionate share of Operating Costs in excess of those incurred in a 2021 Base Year, (vi) Tenant shall lease the Suite 800 Space in its as-is condition and Landlord shall have no obligation to improve the same, except that Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement allowance equal to $60 per square foot of Rentable Area in the Suite 800 Space for a total allowance amount of $1,076,460 and (viii) in lieu of the Standard Parking Allocation, Tenant shall be provided with three (3) parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of Rentable Area in the Suite 800 Space and shall be required to pay the prevailing rate with respect to such parking spaces (plus applicable taxes), as such rate is subject to increase from time to time. Tenant’s expansion into the Suite 800 Space shall be deemed automatic to the extent Landlord delivers the Must Take Notice to Tenant; provided, however, if Landlord requests, Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease documenting such expansion and the terms set forth above. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant in the event there is any delay in delivery of the Suite 800 Space to Tenant due to the Suite 800 Tenant holding over in the Suite 800 Space following the expiration or earlier termination of its lease; provided, however, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any rent for the Suite 800 Space until Landlord delivers the Suite 800 Space to Tenant.

 

14.

Riser Management Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may require that Tenant utilize Landlord’s building riser management company in connection with any access to or installation of cabling and wiring in the vertical risers for the Building. Tenant shall pay any actual and reasonable costs charged by the riser management company in connection with the installation of Tenant’s cabling and wiring. Landlord, at its option, may reasonably restrict access to the telephone closets of the Project and may exclude Tenant and its contractors from such telephone closets.

 

8


15.

Renewal Option. Tenant shall continue to have the renewal option set forth in Exhibit C to the Second Amendment and such renewal option shall apply to the Suite 1150 Space. In the event that tenant elects to exercise the renewal option, it shall be required to exercise it for the entirety of the Premises then being leased by Tenant (i.e., it cannot exercise the renewal option for only a portion of the Premises being leased).

 

16.

Trash Receptacles. Within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Effective Date hereof, Landlord shall designate a location on the Project for Tenant to install and maintain a trash receptacle for Tenant’s sole and exclusive use. Landlord shall notify Tenant once Landlord has determined the location of the trash dumpster. Tenant shall be responsible for any and all costs associated with procuring and maintaining any such trash dumpster, including constructing any screen or enclosure as Landlord may reasonably request. In no event shall Landlord be required to incur any costs in connection with locating an area for such trash receptacle or otherwise procuring or maintaining such receptacle. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall contract directly with Landlord’s designated trash collection and recycling vendor in connection with collecting and emptying such trash receptacle (or if Landlord contracts with the vendor directly, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice). In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to ensure that no other third party utilizes any Tenant exclusive trash receptacle. From time to time Landlord shall have the right to relocate the location of Tenant’s dumpster to another location on the Project.

 

17.

Assignment/Sublease. The following revisions shall be made to Paragraph 11 of the Lease:

 

  (a)

The following is added at the end of Paragraph 11(b) of the Original Lease:

“Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for consent to sublease or assignment and receipt of all of the foregoing pertinent information, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing whether (i) Landlord approves of the request for consent to sublease or assignment, (ii) Landlord disapproves of the foregoing request for consent to sublease or assignment, or (iii) Landlord exercises its rights to recapture under Paragraph 11(c) below. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant within such ten (10) day period, then Tenant shall provide a second written notice (the “A/S Notice”), which shall provide in bold, all-capital letters as follows: ‘LANDLORD’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO TENANT’S REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO ASSIGN OR SUBLEASE WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS SECOND NOTICE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LANDLORD’S CONSENT TO THE PROPOSED SUBLEASE OR ASSIGNMENT.’ If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request for consent to sublease or assign within five (5) days after receipt of the A/S Notice, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed assignment or sublease. In no event shall Tenant publicly advertise any sublease space for a net effective rent that is less than the net effective rent then being quoted by Landlord for new leases in the Building for comparable size.”

 

  (b)

Paragraph 11(c) of the Original Lease shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Paragraph 8 of the Second Amendment), at any time within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the information specified in subparagraph (b) above, Landlord may be written notice to Tenant elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises so proposed to be subleased (but only with respect to subleases that are for the balance of the then remaining Lease Term) or assigned, with a proportionate abatement in the Rent payable hereunder.”

 

9


  (c)

Paragraph 11(d)(v) of the Original Lease shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“The assignee or sublessee (or any affiliate of the assignee or sublessee) is then negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord within the previous three (3) months, or is a current tenant or subtenant within the Building or Project, and, in either such case, Landlord then has or anticipates that it will soon have space of comparable size available for lease in the Building or Project.”

 

  (d)

Paragraph 11(d)(vii) of the Original Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with “Intentionally Deleted.”

 

  (e)

Paragraph 11(d)(viii) of the Original Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with “Intentionally Deleted.”

 

18.

Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each warrant that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent other than CBRE, Inc., representing Tenant, and Cushman & Wakefield U.S., Inc., representing Landlord (collectively, the “Broker”) in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Third Amendment, and Landlord and Tenant each agree to indemnify the other and hold the other harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, or liability for commissions or other compensations or charges claimed by any broker or agent, other than the Broker, who claim to have represented the indemnifying party with respect to this Third Amendment or otherwise claim a commission with respect to this Third Amendment due to their dealings with the indemnifying party. Landlord shall pay the Broker a leasing commission in connection with this Third Amendment pursuant to a separate written agreement between Landlord and such Broker.

 

19.

With the exception of those terms and conditions specifically modified and amended herein, the herein referenced Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with all its terms and conditions. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Third Amendment and the terms and provisions of the Lease, the terms and provisions of this Third Amendment shall supersede and control.
